Answering the Tough Questions on Sexual Identity
Thursday, February 12, 2009 ,8:30am-10:00am, Hampton
When someone in your congregation tells you they are dealing with same sex attraction and then asks you: "Do you think that my thoughts and feelings are a sin?  What if I do not act out on them?  What if I do because I feel like I am gay?  Was I born this way?  I believe I was born different and I don't want to change.  The Bible says I'm an abomination and I should be put to death.  Why?"  These are serious questions and can effect the rest of a person's life.  This workshop will go through each of those questions, and more, in how to practically and productively answer them so as to build a bridge for eternity.

Building Bridges within the Gay and Lesbian Community
 Friday, February 13, 2009,8:30am-10:00am, Royal Palms 3&4
This workshop will first enter into the broader mindset of gays and lesbians, and then cover their unique filtration system and thought processes towards God and Christianity.  We will then work our way through The Marin Foundation's scientific research results (this study is the largest national scientific research study ever done in the gay community regarding spirituality and religion), theory, practice and application on how to effectively build a bridge from an evangelical perspective within the broader gay and lesbian community.
