Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Some of this article deals with some of the same subjects of recent posts on
this list.

Indeed, conservative Christians, who articulate their belief that God calls
Christians to love everyone but not actions that scripture calls sinful,
complain that they are accused of bigotry and inciting hate crimes. "We are
to love people who are sinners -- all of us are sinners and fall short of
the glory of God -- but you are to be discriminating about what behavior you
accept," says Bill Merrell, vice president for convention relations of the
Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention. "To claim that leads
to hatred is a form of hate speech itself."
Gays and lesbians, on the other hand, argue that too often conservative
Christians use the pulpit to paint homosexuals as perverted and beyond the
reach of God's love, language they say provides justification to harm them.

Interesting article recognizes the importance of the issue.

Love in Jesus,
