:p :) Hello, We are Danny and Stephen, living in Austin, TX. We are just beginning to learn about Soulforce and how we can be a part of the effort to bring inclusive rights to the world. Although we are very activist minded as a couple, we have been rather low-key in our approach...becoming more aquanted spiritually with MCC Austin at Freedom Oaks, members of the Gay and Leasbian Chamber of Commerce, HRC and Equality matters.
(Stephen) I come from a conservative background of the church of christ from a large area of influence (Dallas, TX, Nebraska, Indiana, Cincinnati, OH, Harding University - Arkansas) After coming out of the closet joined the MCC in 1993. I am hoping to clarify many of my convictions and solidify my stance on many issues. ...a note of interest, my sister-in-law just became one of the Directors of WWYC.org the World Wide Youth Camps, which teach english to children in Russia(among other countries) using the bible as a text book. Although the organization is conservatively based, I am hoping they don't delve into the details of doctrine, which would most likely include anti-homosexual rhetoric. None-the-less, congratulations to Julie Williams and hopefully having family in an influential setting will allow me to voice my opinion and actually have it Heard instead of falling by the wayside.
