This past sunday I attended a church for which I was overwhelmingly welcomed. I attended with a very good friend who is gay. He too felt very very welcomed. You can visit the churches website at www.unityhawaii.org.
I have never been to a religious place where I did not feel a sense of condemnation. But this group of people were different. I actually knew that love was possible as I walked amongst the people and participated with the people in the service.
One aspect of the church that stood out was the phrase: We believe in original Virtue. I am used to hearing the phrase: We believe in original SIN.
Their approach is understandable I too would rather hold on to the fact that I was created by GOD in original Virtue. All that GOD created was and is GOOD. Therefore I too am GOOD. I do sin (miss the mark) I do miss the bulls eye...and know I will never be PERFECT in and of myself. But I can be PERFECT in LOVE. The fact that I can love at all is the perfection GOD gives me strength to perform.
GOD LOVES ME and YOU.
