The United Church of Canada has released an ad campaign stating that - like Jesus - the United Church of Christ seeks to welcome all people, regardless of ability, age, race, economic circumstance or sexual orientation. The UCC takes this further than I believe scripture does, however I admire their willingness to clearly reach out to the marginalized in the world.
I find it interesting that the CBS and NBC networks have banned these ads for being too controversial. They have no problem airing comedies that dipict the gay lifestyle, but refuse ads saying Jesus would accept them. God loves all people. He created everyone with the hope of having a relationship with them.
How do we, the church navigate loving the sinner and hating the sin. We are pretty good at the latter. Jesus came for the hurting, not the well. I would hope that the church's mission would be the same as Jesus. What do you think?
Peace,
K
