Re: "gay Christian"

Thanks for sharing that, HK. I appreciate your tone and your frankness, and I believe you are probably correct in your opinions about modern expressions of sexual identity. I'd be interested in what else you have to say about it.

Re: Anabaptist Voice - new Conservative Anabaptist Magazine
