8/12 10 AM WORSHIP: CONFRONTING HOMOPHOBIA

  • Bethesda Presbyterian Church 7611 Clarendon Road Bethesda, MD, 20814 United States (map)

Here's This Sunday's Bulletin. "GAY IS OKAY". We may never have seen this message on a Presbyterian church marquee. And yet -- until recent years -- here are the messages we sent ...
  "Oh, you can be a member here! You just can't be a church leader."
  "Oh, we welcome everybody! Just don't tell us too much about your private life."
  "Oh, we include everyone! But of course, we have to follow official church teaching ..."

 This Sunday and Next -- Parts 7 & 8 of an 8-part Summer Series, "Our Scriptures: From Taking Them Literally to Taking Them Seriously": "The Church & Homophobia: We Caused It. We Are Changing It."

Join Us ... and for the Discussion that Follows at 11:15: "Waking Up White and Finding Ourselves in the Story of Race". Here are notes and discussion questions -- Part 3 this coming Sunday. Join Us, 'round our Fellowship Hall sofas!
