When I have conversations about what joy-filled sexual authenticity looks like in a life of faith I am often met with an interesting response. It goes something like this: Yes, It is good that our church does not exclude people for being divorced, or gay. In fact, most Episcopalians that I run across seem to be quite proud of the inclusion we have mustered so far. It feels good to be kind and welcoming. But, the person will say: “there have to be limits. There still must be rules. I mean we can’t just have a church where ‘anything goes.’”
Anything goes...
