To all Preachers, Pastors, Church members! I have just finished ending a series of unpleasant
exchanges with a brother concerning a simple post i made. Let us be ever mindful of how we
treat those in the church. Be they gay or straight. Pain and hurt are for many of us hard to
get over and it becomes so embedded in us that we cannot see how wrong it is and how
destructive it is. As you know the black church has long had gay members,musicians,
choir directors,etc how they were handled was i suppose a private matter if handled at all
i know how it feels to be hurt in the church by a pastor i loved my family suffered as well.
We may be the only Jesus that some will see, Lets be mindful of the hurt that we might
directly or indirectly cause. Maybe we can avoid one less situation like this one.
Peace, I'm out, Rev.Lovell Block
