Highlight Homosexuality Issue

Re Sad, Disappointed, Hopeful; Letters, July/August
Whenever I read a letter to the editor regarding the matter of homosexuality, such as the one by Mr. Paul Kokoski in the July/August issue, I am dismayed and also very saddened to learn that there are still people in the Presbyterian Church who prefer to quote ancient biblical texts regarding homosexuality rather than understand that a person does not choose to be gay. This is a fact that the medical community, in particular those in psychiatry, has finally come to understand and accept, no longer considering homosexuality to be reversible.
It would certainly be constructive if such persons as Rev. Calvin Brown, Rev. Laurence DeWolfe, Rev. Glen Davis, the current moderator and others would write articles about this important matter in a more open manner. God will help us all to do what is right and to not be fearful of opening our minds to the truth. Let us ask ourselves, “What would Jesus say?”
