Hurrah for the UMC!

Rabbi Alan Lew, of blessed memory, wrote in his book This Is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared: “All human beings are bearers of the divine. And when we drive a particular group away, we drive God away with them.”

Three cheers for the worldwide United Methodist Church, and the compromise they reached at their General Conference in Charlotte, N.C., this month, regarding same-sex marriage. Proud of my husband, Tim Riss, and his team for their hard work over the past several years, to get this accomplished.

Excelsior!

RABBI LEW WAS RIGHT, AND SO WAS THE UMC IN THEIR DECISION ON THE “DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE” AT THEIR GENERAL CONFERENCE THIS MONTH. IF ONLY ALL DENOMINATIONS COULD BE THIS OPEN AND LOVING!
