It's About Time

It’s about time to end

the task forces, studies, judicial cases, interpretations,

and other abuses

that continue the unconscionable discriminatory policies of our church.

It’s about time to lay aside our fears:

Fear of the unknown ‑ fear of schism,

Fear of those who are different.

“God is love…there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.” 1 John, 4:16, 18

It’s about time to do the right thing,

to delete G-6.0106b which has created so much strife in our beloved church.

It’s about time to trust in God’s wildly inclusive love,

and remove the boundaries we have set

around God’s free, unmerited grace.

It’s about time to make our church a welcoming community,

where everyone has an equal place at God’s table.

It’s about time!
