Driving along I-95 in Stamford, Ct, this Saturday, I saw this large billboard. It promotes the United Church of Christ as an "inclusive" church, i.e., one that welcomes practicing homosexuals. As someone in the UCC till I was 11, this bothers me. The denomination has a whole publicity campaign built around this motto and idea.
The theology of this is interesting, especially in the light of Revelations 21:8 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.
This would be a great sermon- "does God exclude?"
I agree with the billboard. God does not exclude. The gift of grace and eternal life is available to all - who take it. "..that NONE may perish."
