  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

After I'm feeling better, I'm thinking of writing a story, but need to do research . . .

Wonder what a liberal UMC or a liberal ELCA congregation think of an unwed woman being a surrogate mother for a male gay couple.

I don't know if I could realistically set it in Louisiana, or not.

Anyway, that's stuff I want to research for a possible story . . .

i think that depends on the congregation...ELCA is accepting of LGBT couples for the most part...and some UMC congregations are accepting of LGBT couples...

I have a cousin who was a surrogate for a (straight) UMC couple...she is the biological mother of their children...

I am not Methodist nor Lutheran...those are my observations

God bless
