<p> I would recommend you read <a href="http://brianmclaren.net/archives/blog/i-read-recently-about-your.html">this whole post from Brian McLaren</a>, where he responds to someone who has decided they can no longer consider themselves his ally because of his acceptance of homosexuality. It is sad, affectionate, understanding, gentle and accepting. I&#39;ve never heard of him before in my life, and despite not considering myself to be a Christian of any stripe—I&#39;m of the Gandhian &#34;I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians&#34; school—I <em>like</em> this guy. He demonstrates in this response those attributes I would wish to be able to embody myself.</p>
