GLBT-friendly churches on the Carolinas state line?

[mjules]

OK, so I figured y'all were the best people to ask this question when a simple Google search failed me. I haven't been to church in several months, partly due to disliking a lot of things they taught/believed at the churches I went to, partly due to feeling like I needed to go exploring truth for myself without letting someone decide it for me.

Well now I feel like I've at least gotten a good start on my epic quest for truth, enough that I don't think my independence is that easily threatened, and I was thinking about trying out a church or two to see what can be seen, to steal a line from a poem. Obviously, one major problem I have is that all the churches I've ever gone to (that I can remember) are heavily fundamentalist and most decidedly NOT GLBT-friendly. I can't go back there, not right now.

So does anyone know any GLBT-friendly churches in the Carolinas state line area? Close by Charlotte, mainly. Thanks!

Check out Whosoever.com. Candace Chellew-Hodge is the editor and also lives in or around Columbia, SC. She might know of one you could try. She is also a member here at Soulforce. I think her screen name is RevTheoDyke. You could pm her and see what she has to say. Good luck in your quest. I know how hard it is to find a church you can feel comfortable with and that meets your needs.
