Dear Friends,

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I just joined Soulforce a couple of days ago and I am thrilled that we have a forum such as this. I live in Western Massachusetts and am 54 years old. I am a practicing Catholic who is deeply distressed at the direction of our church in issues pertaining to gays and lesbians. I am trying to spread the message that we are good, humble people that have something to contribute to the church at large. I see some signs of hope at the grassroots level; perhaps one day we will be heard by the hierarchy.

I do hope that I will be hearing from many of you. This forum is a great way to network with other gay people of faith.

Wishing you God's peace during this Thanksgiving week, I am,


Sincerely,
Jack
