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.

I don't believe that. Does anybody reading this believe that?

GALA stands for gay and lesbian acceptance.

Step by Step

GALA has received permission to use the name of the church, Community of Christ, on their letters and materials from this point forward; a significant step in their faith journey. As many of you know, when GALA was beginning in the late 1980�s, use of the church name was strictly prohibited.

Group Discusses Tough Issues

�The setting was the Temple, where 47 members of the Expanded World Church Leadership Council and other leaders spent several days discussing culturally respectful standards of conduct. They emphasized issues such as same-sex marriage and ordination of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgendered members.�

Some asked why the topics even needed to be discussed. President Veazey replied:

�Something has to happen�that helps us resolve this tension that is beginning to sap the energy of the church in some areas�so we can focus on missional endeavors.

�We are�at a very serious juncture.� Now is the time to gain a better sense of the way we want to approach the journey into the future.�
