officially come out as lesbians, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning, and intersex (LGBTQI).
The 111 LGBTQI Methodist leaders publicly came out in a signed document published on Reconciling Ministries Network, a website supportive of the group's cause. The letter entitled "A Love Letter to Our Church From Your LGBTQI Religious Leaders" revealed that the group's purpose for coming out is to provide hope for young LGBTQI members in hostile Methodist churches.
Read their word here; "We are here because God has called us to serve in this denomination, and our souls are fed by the theology in which we've been raised,""The United Methodist Church urges us to hide our light under a bushel basket, and God calls us to shine our light brightly," signatory Rev. Laura Young told The Columbos Dispatch. "The don't-ask-don't-tell policy is damaging to a person's soul, and we can't allow it to go on any longer.
Now that men and women are no longer ashamed of their sins,you would agree with me that the end of all things is surely at hand.Where would you spend your eternity?
