Homosexual Loved

April 30, 2008


There has been some interesting news regarding homosexuality this week.

Last week's "Day of Silence" - a day where students protest the lack of acceptance of homosexuals - was met with love from Christian groups this year, rather than boycotts and animosity.

From the Christian Post:
As part of the "Golden Rule Initiative," students passed out cards throughout the day vowing to live in the manner of Christ's teaching to "Do to others as you would have them do to you" in reference to the passage from Scripture. The cards also read, "As a follower of Christ, I believe that all people are created in the image of God and therefore deserve love and respect."
...
"The LGBT community saw something revolutionary – they saw Christians loving them and more than that, they saw the love of Christ. What would happen if next year, hundreds of Christian students walked around with duct tape in silence?" she recalled in her email, a day after the event.

This is very interesting indeed. One of the few examples I've heard of homosexuals feeling loved by Christians. This story comes from The Christian Post, a very conservative and traditional source of Christian news. I hope more of us can make a change from condemning people to loving them. Is this marking a turning point for Christians?
