To say "All are welcome" and to truly practice it as an entire community of faith are certainly two different things. But our community continually strives to embody the unconditional love that Jesus did. Sometimes under scrutiny. Sometimes investing great energy and time in conversation. Sometimes at great cost personally and communally. But always, ALWAYS with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who speaks to us from the most unlikely sources, who challenges us to be the best Christians we can be, and who works powerfully in us and through us to become the arms and hands of Christ to all people.
