Reporting Back from General Assembly
By administrator
July 19, 2010

Two critical conversations continue after this year's Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) General Assembly - one about building peace in the Middle East and another about building a fully inclusive church for gay and lesbian people. We invite you to join the conversations.

Middle East: Auburn's own The Rev. Dr. Katharine R. Henderson and The Rev. J.C. Austin wrote for the Washington Post & Newsweek blog, "On Faith" about the General Assembly's peace-building efforts. You can also read reports from the L.A. Times, Jewish Week and the Palestinian News Network.

Gay/Lesbian Inclusion: To learn about what was at stake going into General Assembly, go to Presbyterian Welcome. For overviews of what emerged over the course of the Assembly, the More Light Presbyterians and the Covenant Network offer a review. For reflections on what this year's Assembly will mean for the future, check out That All May Freely Serve.

Of course, it would not occur to Steve or Tyler that Obama just might be tiynrg to persuade those people who disagree with him to a different view of GLBT rights. You know, the whole Lincoln "destroy your enemies by making them your friend" idea.In a strategic approach, it would make sense to pull as many people over to his side (or at least keep them from becoming outspoken critics) as he moves forward with an equal rights for GLBT agenda.Is it going to be fast enough for me? No.Is it going to be full equal rights, including marriage? No.Is it going to be enough? Sadly, no.Is it going to be better than anything the repubs or libertarians or repubertarians have done or will do? You bet.He is the first President ever to address the HRC. You should read the speech. He didn't promise any timetables, but he stated his commitments.Of course, in the weird world of repubertarians, this all would have already been a done deal under McInsane-Palin. anonone
