Welcome to Soulforce

[Jamie McDaniel]

I guess one of the perks of being the webmaster for Soulforce is that I get to be the first on the forums to introduce myself!

My name is Jamie McDaniel, I'm 31 years old, I'm a gay man, I live in Lexington, Kentucky, and I became involved with Soulforce back in August 2000 when I attended a local group meeting here in Lexington. Having grown up Southern Baptist, I was very closeted at the time. I also told the Lexington local group leader that I really wasn't an activist!

I attended my first Soulforce national action that next summer at the 2001 annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in New Orleans. And that's where I found a passion for faith-driven activism. Now four years later, Soulforce is working hard to grow our community and I'm proud to be heading the internet team. It is my job to keep Soulforce.org running smoothly and assisting the forum moderators. If you ever have any questions feel free to contact me.

I look forward to participating in great discussions with you all.
