Roy Cole said, referring to the woman in Luke 13:10 who had an infirmity for 18 years. The Rev. Cole paused, his hands and purple liturgical robe swaying. He told his 11 a.m. congregation that many of them came weeklyto Metropolitan Community Church in Northeast Portlandbent and stooped from fears. He bent over, held an imaginary cane, and hobbled across the raised platform at the front of the sanctuary. Throughout the well-dressed congregation, men sat arm in arm, occasionally petting or lightly kissing each other. "We find freedom," the Rev. Cole said earnestly, "in God's presence and in His Word. And we find this freedom in answering God's prayer for us.

FREE TO BE GAY a brief look at the Bible and homosexuality Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches #304, 5300 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90029-1196, USA "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." John 8:32 Introduction Metropolitan Community Church proclaims the Good News of Jesus Christ that every person is loved by God. There is no condemnation because one is gay or lesbian. Perhaps you are gay or lesbian. Perhaps one of your loved ones or friends is. You undoubtedly know persons who are, whether you are aware of it or not. It may be that the traditional attitude of church and society toward gay and lesbian people causes you concern or pain. You may have become convinced that gay and lesbian people are shut out of Christ's realm and out of the Church. Many people have been taught that the Bible condemns homosexuality. Metropolitan Community Church believes that this is not the truth. We believe that gay and lesbian people are completely loved and accepted by God. How can there be such a difference between parts of the Christian Church over this issue? Largely because unproven ideas have been taught for centuries about some Scripture passages. In recent times, scholars have finally begun to study these passages in depth, with the support of historical and archaeological information about biblical times.

THE METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CHURCH AND HOMOSEXUALITY Click Here to Visit our Sponsors. document.writeln(""); The Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) is commonly called the Metropolitan Community Church . It was founded by Troy Perry, a Pentecostal minister, in 1968 as a Gay and Lesbian positive religious institution. It is basically indistinguishable from other Evangelical Christian churches in terms of their beliefs, sacraments, order of service etc. One significant difference is that they have a ritual which recognizes same-sex committed partnerships. They regard St. Paul's statements against homosexuality to be "cultural accretions", similar to his belief that women should not speak in church. There are about 35,000 members in about 230 congregations. Groups are found in most large cities. Their clergy are composed of both men and women. Most of the membership and of the clergy are gay, lesbian or bisexual. They have greatly suffered from public hatred of homosexuality; they lost four churches to arson in 1973 alone.
