While I was away in Orlando, some news came in to the office: Desert Heritage United Church of Christ voted on Sunday, June 22 to become Open and Affirming.
I celebrate that their discernment and prayerful deliberations have led them to make this statement, and pray that the Spirit continue to enrich them and bless them.
I am proud both of them, and of their Pastor, Paul Whitlock - who, though a Dodger fan, clearly has SOME moments of lucidity.
If you or your church is interested in finding out more about the Open and Affirming process, about going through a period of discernment to discover whether you feel called to be or become Open and Affirming - then by all means call the Conference Office and we will be most happy to help facilitate such a process.
For now, let us all together give thanks for Desert Heritage as we give God thanks for their mission and ministry.
