Love, Love, Love


Love is an Orientation: Elevating the Conversation with the Gay Community by Andrew Marin could be the most important book you read this year. Marin and his wife live in Boystown, a neighborhood in Chicago which is predominately GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) populated. the organization he founded, The Marin Foundation, is conducting the largest-ever research study on religion in the GLBT community. Christians have gotten so much wrong in the name of God. why are we so concenred about being correct? why are we so concerned about winning arguments? we know we can be accused of judging and being intolerant. however, i cannot see God saying we were too loving and kind to people, regardless of their orientation. read Love is an Orientation.
