EMU Petition

[aleggett]

Greetings all.   I make this suggestion reluctantly as I do not wish to get into a them and us dispute, but it seems to me that EMU are making a big thing over gathering 20,000 signatures supporting their claim.   I believe it would be possible to gather more than 20,000 signatures to a letter of support to ASC that said something like this.   We the undersigned wish to express our support for Assembly resolution 84 and its call for us to live together with diverse understandings of human sexuality and scripture.   Whilst we may not all believe that the ordination Gay and Lesbian ministers is correct, we do believe that we can live together within the diversity of the church which calls us to recognise our differences as we embrace each other in the spirit of Christ's love.   Are we at the point where we need to do something like this yet? I'm not sure.   Grace & Peace Allan
