Responding with Christian love to our homosexual neighbours

This gives a constructive approach to dealing with homosexuality. Interestingly it emerges from a case-study scenario which asks the reader to imagine they are confronted pastorally with a young person who is just realising the predominant direction of their sexual affectviity is homophile. I've added emphasis to a phrase I think is particularly important.

What welcome should you receive? I pray it might be something like this ...
“God loves you - just as you are. He made us all for a purpose - there are no "reject goods". In Christ, gay and straight are equally welcome!
We want to affirm you as a person! Gay orientation is not in itself sinful. Some in the church believe that all homosexual activity is wrong. Others believe that the Bible supports all loving faithful relationships. But though we disagree among ourselves, we will not make you a victim of our theological conflict.
We give you the whole Bible, focussing on what is really important, like John 3 v 16, Matthew 28 vv 16-20 and Romans 5 v 8, but engaging with you on the challenging bits.
Above all we will accompany you on your Christian journey and learn from you as you learn from us. As we travel together, we pray that the Holy Spirit will break forth yet more light and truth from God’s word.”
