ABSTRACT

In addition to talking with people involved in the human sexuality debate, I found time to read what others have said on the topic. An Episcopal priest, Gray Temple, wrote a book, Gay Unions: In the Light of Scripture, Tradition and Reason (2004), that puts forth arguments and reasons in support of sacramental inclusion for gays and lesbians who seek to be in the church. He would approve of Pastor Mary Albing’s call to lead LCCR and the Extraordinary Candidacy Project call and ordination of Jay Wiesner at Bethany Lutheran Church. He would also bless their unions with their partners if they were members of his church.
