i read a lot of books, i probably should get out more - but i love reading, what can i say? this year several books have impacted me significantly and really challenged me to reconsider some previous assumptions that i've held.
one such book is andrew marin's
love is an orientation. thanks to andrew, i now have more questions than answers, not only for my own personal perspective, but for what all of this means for those of us in children's ministry.
it's becoming apparently obvious that for those of us in children's ministry, the conversation about gay and lesbians and faith is one that we must continue to be on the forefront of - in leading volunteers, connecting with parents, and spiritually forming children. as we continue to lead well, i anticipate only more questions as we encounter gay parents in our church, gay children in our church, and gay members in our church looking to volunteer.
i'm thrilled that
andrew marin has agreed to meet with me in just a couple of weeks. i'm interested in discussing these ideas with him, listening to his expert perspective and learning new ways that those of us in children's ministry can be pioneers and leaders in this conversation.
so i've already got quite a list of topics and questions i would like to discuss with andrew, but i would love to represent you! so leave a comment with your question for andrew and i'll be sure to ask him and report back to you.
what would you ask andrew?
