In the aftermath of last week's election, demonstrations continue against Prop. 8, which adds to Calfornia's constitution a ban on gay marriages.
Churches are reaching out, however. All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, held a public same-sex wedding to express support for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons in California.
More surprising are the efforts of a Foursquare-related church in Santa Clarita, The Sanctuary.
"Join us this week for 'Crossing the Gay Divide,'" says the church's website, apparently a reference to this Sunday's sermon topic. http://www.thesanctuarychurch.com/ Services are at 8 am, 9:45 am, and 11:30 am.
This fall the church screened the open-minded documentary Lord Save Us from Your Followers, which a student in one of my classes informed me about. See http://www.lordsaveusthemovie.com/ and this blog for Oct. 29.
Led by Pastor Marty Walker, the church has four other pastors including one woman, Julie Sandeen.
"A safe place to grow" is the church motto.
