I think some people in my church are or have been involved with Young Life. I don't know a whole lot about them, but what I think I know is that they're a conservative evangelical group. I hold them the same degree of respect I have for other such groups, InterVarsity, Navigators, and so on. You'll have their full support and compassion if you come out to them as a poor brother in need of prayer to Overcome his Infirmity. If you tell them you're quite happy the way you are, thank-you-very-much, they'll get nervous because it'll shock their world-view which says that gay Christians are poor brothers in need of support, compassion and prayer to Overcome their Infirmity. They've never met a confidently gay Christian before, and don't know how to handle it. It won't necessarily prevent you from becoming a real leader, though, unless you introduce them to your boyfriend. Hope I didn't ramble too much... ;) Remember what Jesus said to the storm :) F.O.D. |
