Excerpt

"Children are dying in the streets. Wars are destroying nations and people. People around us are crying out in pain and anguish--desperate to hear a word of love--needing compassion-acceptance-grace. Where is the Church? Where are the Presbyterians? Where is our witness? We are in a box on page two trying to restrict the way people love one another" (Thomas 2). Who belongs in the church offices and who doesn't? Who can be married and who can't be?
