This week Oregon joined the growing list of states where the
freedom to marry is an officially and legally recognized right for
same-gendered couples. It is a milestone worth celebrating and I am
grateful to be part of a church where such a decision is viewed as
good news. It touches people’s lives in profoundly personal and
far-reaching ways.
And there is more work to be done. Our country, our culture and
our world are deeply divided on this issue. Hurtful attitudes and
actions are still far more prevalent than we might dare to imagine.
We can make a difference, both personally and as a congregation - with our words, with our choices, with our actions. Never doubt that
even seemingly small things can contribute to a more just and
life-affirming world for everyone. Dare to let your voice be heard.
Dare to let your light shine.
