Hey Jeremy, God uses many different things and people to teach us about Him. Boys are certainly at the top of my list. And sharing our love of boys is also part of His will for us. I do not want to bear this cross of pedophilia/boylove. Neither do I. If I had my wish, it would be to be a regular, average 2.3 kids household in the suburbs. No I wouldn't -- that's a lie. I actually enjoy being a rebel, a dissident, a prophetic voice challenging the traditions of the church. We have special insights as marginal members of our faith communities from which to understand and advocate for all marginal persons. I often imagine what a young gay person sitting in the evangelical churches I know of might feel like... I feel that we have a responsibility to our brothers and sisters in the church. God wants us to be witnesses of His greatness and Love. We are challenged to hold accountable those communities that are not Christ-like in love and acceptance. By our nature, we have the power to transform the church in Love alongside other marginal peoples. Peace of Christ, Bach
