       2005 Welcoming Church Survey

       Author: Elaine

       A year marked by growth across almost all the denominations with

       new denominations being added all the time. How many new

       churches were added this year? How are these churches spread

       across the various denominations? It's all here.

 

       Some Historical Perspective on Equality Movements

       Author: Bruce Hahne, More Light Presbyterians

       Does it seem like the struggle to end anti-gay bias within the Church

       is taking an inordinate amount of time? If we look at civil rights

       movements that predate ours, we gain some valuable insight and

       realize that the struggle is rarely over in a year or two. It may take

       generations.

 

       Thirty in Three

       Author: Elaine

       In three years time, God has opened up almost as many church

       doors to the gay and lesbian community as had been opened in the

       previous thirty years combined. This has occurred during some of

       the worst anti-gay sentiment we have seen since the inception of the

       gay Christian movement some thirty odd years ago.

 

       I am the Voice of One Calling Out in the Desert

       Author: Blyth

       We need to ask ourselves a rather uncomfortable question. Are we

       willing to say what God has asked us to say, are we willing to do

       what God has asked us to do, even if it is unpopular, going

       completely against what people want to hear or see? Are we willing

       to be the voice in the wilderness calling, "Prepare the way of the

       Lord?"

 

       Jesus - God's Word to Mankind

       Author: Don Milam

       Jesus is God's first Word and last Word to mankind. Jesus came to

       heal, bless, encourage and bring home. He is calling each of us to

       follow in His footsteps and become an army of servants, ministering

       God's love and grace to all.      

 

       Why Revival Still Tarries

       Author: Chad Taylor

       Why does revival still tarry?  Because God's people still tarry.

     

       How God is with us

       Author: Rev. Anne D. Kear

       Truly God is with us. No matter the circumstances in the world

       today, God is with us. What does God want from us? God wants

       us to open our eyes, to hear the angels in unexpected voices, to go

       see the Savior of the world.

 

       Listening to God

       Author: Blyth

       We need to stop and listen to God before we do something rash

       and step out of His will, hurting ourselves and others in the

       process.
