Hi, I'm Tim

[Cleric]

So hey, just signed up today because I'm looking for answers. A relative sent me a facebook invite about getting 1,000,000, people to support same sex marriage and I really wanted to click yes. Problem? Well I'm a youth minister who works for a conservative church. I went to a seminary school of similar beliefs, and went in the first place because of my views in high school. Through school though things changed, and I find myself grappling with a lack of faith because non-Christians are described as "Liberal Hippies" often by many Christians I know. It's painful to know that if I click yes on Facebook that my job could be at stake. I've learned of denominations who have allowed views like this openly, but I'm not interested in getting into another theology, I'm quite a fan of non-denominational churches and the freedom they offer. I have no problem with other churches, but I have my own style and its suited this way in almost every other aspect of worship.

It's ironic because I'm not gay, nor do I personally know anyone of that lifestyle, but I believe in the right of all of God's people to express love in their own way. I'm wondering what to do about this, and if anyone lives in or around Maryland thats where I'm at if they'd like to meet up and talk theology, or if they know of any opened minded churches

Oh in case you're wondering, the name "Cleric" comes from my days of playing D&D because a Cleric is a holy warrior
