Yeah... so people who are attracted to men are going to find this guy, Loren Cameron, attractive if he is their type of guy. He is going to fit right in at any gay bar amongst the men... and did when he was alive. This is not confusing.

I pray incessantly
For the conversion
Of the prodigal son's brother.
Ever in my ear
Rings the dead warning
"This one [the prodigal] has awoken
From his life of sin.
When will the other [the brother]
Awaken
From his virtue?

What can the system tolerate? Nazis in 3 months closed all LGBTQ bars/cafes, in 6 months destroyed the only LGBTQ health center and burned its library, began arrests of gay men and trans women immediately. And the system tolerated it, within Germany and Internationally.

The ECM@UofA Board in '45. Our founding chaplain was an Episcopal Lay Woman from St John's in Bangor, ME. The extent of where Episcopalians were employed by the UofA at the time is marked. Also all the area rectors were on the board and the Cathedral in Phoenix sent a representative.

New Academic Semester... getting excited about the Min-Retreats the ECM@UofA runs every fourth sunday of term. These are meant for those of all faith, no faith, questioning faith to ground in some basic realities of spiritual health and discipline. Great interfaith and peer discernment happens.

Tonight, for those who partake, may I suggest an Anita Bryant and raising of the glass to her passing. During her campaign Gay Bars stopped serving Screwdrivers and replaced the Orange Juice with Apple Juice and named the drink after her.

Going from a framework of "equal rights" the request is to engage a framework of "equal grievability". When looking at any situation we ask whose grievances are not valued in a situation, whose death is ignored and whose death is given utmost attention.
