Journeying Toward a USA National Conference
BY THE USA APOSTOLIC TEAM

Q: Has church leadership already determined the outcome on issues of same-gender marriage and ordaining people in same-gender relationships?

A: No, church leadership is committed to discernment leading to the USA National Conference. This process will include spiritual practices, dialogue, scripture reflection, and study of credible resources that provide multiple perspectives on human sexuality and healthy, faithful, and committed relationships.

The Welcoming Community Network, an organization to promote the homosexual agenda, has actually had at least one meeting in the Community of Christ temple (that corkscrew seashell).

Listening Circles Introduced to the Congregation

On Sunday, May 16th, Pastor Andrea Henson, co-facilitated by Pat McKay, introduced the concept of Listening Circles to the congregation.

The World Church has requested that we form these circles in our congregation (6-10 people each) for the purpose of listening to each other in a safe, non threatening environment. Listening Circles are a tool that can be used to discuss any difficult issue. The World Church has requested that the issue of homosexuality in the Community of Christ be our first focus.�
