�Dr. Dale Luffman, a member of the Community of Christ Quorum of Twelve Apostles, delivered the sermon at the inaugural service November 1 on the subject of hospitality with references to Genesis and Mark. He explained the historical context of the time in which Genesis was written. He challenged those who use the Sodom and Gomorrah event as a way to attack homosexuals and other members of the LGBT community. He asserted that the Lot story is about God�s hospitality, not about committed same-sex relationships in today�s world.�

Genesis 18
5 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead, and make cakes upon the hearth.
6 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf, tender and good, and gave it unto a young man, and he hasted to dress it.
7 And he took butter and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set them before them, and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
A non-kosher meal

Genesis 18
19 And the angel of the Lord said unto Abraham, The Lord said unto us, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous, I will destroy them.
An abomination
