Every church is encouraged to make and bring a banner depicting a mission theme.
All Christians struggle with issues of how their human sexuality is to be shaped by the claims of the Gospel, and there is a spectrum of thought on these issues, especially on the issue of homosexuality. One position is that our sexual identity is God-given, whether it be gay or straight, and that within that given we then seek how to live responsibly. For those who share this approach there is a local Baptist group ready to lend its support. American Baptists Concerned for Sexual Minorities of the Rochester Area is composed of people from all sexual orientations who want to support gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons and affirm their orientation as God s good gift. The group is strictly confidential, both in terms of attendance and what is shared.
