A Letter From Apostle Ron Harmon

"I want to share with you that the issue of �homosexuality and the church� is a deep concern of mine and my colleagues in the World Church Leadership Council. It goes to the heart of our basic understandings of human sexuality and identity, about which there is much misinformation and misunderstanding. Groundwork is being laid for more meaningful discernment and conversation as we address the issues as a community of faith."

"The delegate conference, July 18�22, 2012, in Independence, Missouri, will determine the level of support for

1.) Extending the sacrament of marriage to persons of the same sex/gender OR providing a church-recognized way for two persons of the same sex/gender to publicly express their commitment to each other.

2.) Allowing people in committed, monogamous, long-term, same sex/gender relationships (legal marriage, civil union, church-recognized commitment) to be considered for ordination.

The delegates� common consent will determine if present policies will remain in place or new policies will need to be written and implemented.

These are difficult issues......"
