I've added a new section to the web site titled "Stories from Reconciling Churches". While compiling the "Welcoming Church Directory" I've admired many of the articles and sermons pastors have produced while working through their churches decision to welcome gays and lesbians. These "coming out" articles contain some amazing stories, research and in some cases, heart wrenching accounts of what transformed their church. It will take months to go back through my links and find these articles again and get permission to reprint them on the web site. But I've received permission already for the first one - a wonderful sermon/study titled "Stepping Out in Faith" from the Knox United Church of Canada.

This is a great idea! Looking forward to reading more.
