Good News for
Gay and Lesbian Adventists |
A Warm
to Our GLAdventist Community
You
need not identify as 'gay' or 'lesbian' to feel at home here. If you are a Seventh-day Adventist
or have Adventist background and
know what it is like to be more strongly attracted to your own gender
than the opposite gender, you will find support and encouragement here.
We have
Good News for Gay Adventists!
Check
out What Would Jesus Say to Homosexuals?
by Adventist pastor John McLarty, as well as Adventist
Ministry magazine articles dealing with
homosexuality from several years ago.
Former editor of Insight, the Adventist magazine for youth, Christopher Blake, wrote a thoughtful article about "Redeeming
Our Sad Gay Situation" years ago, and we have received
permission to re-publish it here.
Many
of our Adventist members are single, and others are married. Some have never acted
on their attraction to their own gender. Others have spent more than 30
years immersed in the gay culture of one of our big cities and then come back to the Adventist church they learned to love when they were young. What binds
us together is our common goal to make Christ first in our lives as we look forward to His glorious Second Advent. If
that is your desire as well, you will find support and understanding in
our GLAdventist Email Community.
We
look forward with joyful anticipation to the soon return of our Lord and
Savior, who said, "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
again and receive you to myself, that where I am, there you may be
also." (John 14: 3) We are also mindful that it is our privilege
not only to look for, but to hasten the coming of the Lord. (2 Peter 3:
12) To this end, we long to see fulfilled the prophetic vision of Ellen
White who wrote that "The last rays of merciful light, the last
message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His
character of love. The children of God are to manifest His glory. In
their own life and character they are to reveal what the grace of God
has done for them." (Christ's Object Lessons, pp. 415-416)
Thus it is our desire to communicate God's character of Love
and manifest His glory through this internet initiative.
