this is a 'must listen'

today on fresh aire on NPR terry gross will be interviewing v. gene robinson, the openly gay bishop-elect or new hampshire. next week at the national general episcopal convention, they will decide if he actually will take office by voting for or against approving him for the office. i, for one, hope that people can put aside their fears and vote for him as a person and preist, and not as 'the gay bishop'. it really frustrates me to hear people call themselves christian, and yet damn people based on sexual orientation, skin color, abortion stance, or whatever. if going to church has taught me anything, it's taught me to accept people, despite differences, and more importantly, the golden rule: to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
