That does look like an interesting church, thanks for posting it Mags, I didn’t come across a whole lot of Christians on The Pink Sofa when I was there briefly. I might have to go check it out, pity it’s just about as far away as most of the others!

That name is great too, “The Open Door”, exactly what a church should be 🙂

To Sage, I used to attend the Uniting church in Campbelltown. The ministers there are cool. One of them married me and my partner last year, we are both men, so I would say they are gay friendly. Once in church Graham, the minister I speak of, was leading worship, and in the song the lyrics mentioned God’s love for everyone. It even mentioned gays. Could not believe it. It was certainly a change from Sydney Anglicanism that I am used to.

alwasy encouraging dean isn’t it when you here a mention of us in a situation where we have only known hostility and rejection.

Thanks, will send an e-mail from my home address. It would be great to start establishing some connections.

And thanks for the welcome too. I found about the forum in an indirect way from the 60 Minutes story that you were a part of. However, I don’t actually watch 60 Minutes so I’ve not seen the program! Think I read the transcript and/or the record of the online discussion afterwards.

As to how I ever found out about the program… possibly Rodney Croome’s blog? I seem to remember he was rather appreciative of the mainstream media doing a balanced story.
