Margaret and I attended a meeting at First United Methodist Church in San Diego tonight, and we came away with a sense that we are part of a community that enriches us.  The senior pastor arranged with the School of Christian Studies to hold four evenings of discussion about the subject of human sexuality and the church's position relative to inclusion or exclusion of persons whose orientation is homosexual. We came away with the distinct impression that our part of the world is changing for the better.  Perhaps sixty people were in attendance, and the small group that sat around our table agreed that our community of faith is open and welcoming to all people... and that all means all.
