Hi Keith. Welcome to the Forum.
I live in Manhattan. A big city with a small town heart.
I went to Evangel College, an Assemblies of God school in Missouri. Or as they would say there, Missourah!
Don't know what things are like now in the AG church, but it doesn't have much room- if any- for
out gay people, does it? Though I have come across several Pentecostal churches over the years that are oriented (there is a pun there!) towards gay people.
Funny how all the gay men in a church gravitate towards the choir. You find them in every church on the planet.
Some think we are the bearers of culture. And I believe there is a lot of sense in that. My experience has been that most people enjoy good music in church. In fact, it can be the primary reason why they go. Reminds me of the saying, "When you sing you pray twice."
The question of whether gay people are inherently sinful or not makes me roll my eyes. And that's not just because I am an uppity New Yawker. It's a point a view which ignores a vast amount of information. A
will-full ignorance. I've seen up close how anti-intellectual Pentecostalism can be.
Kudos to you for having an open mind.
