Revs AND Pastors AND Ministers

Thursday 10 January, 2008 - 08:14 by 100Revs in Ministers

views (414)

The invitation to join 100Revs is to anyone who is a pastor or minister of a Christian church or leader of a Christian ministry or agency.  "100Revs" was a catchy title rather than a restriction of the campaign to only ordained clergy.  Please pass the invitation on to other ministers that you know.

Mardi Gras Morals

Thursday 10 January, 2008 - 08:13 by 100Revs in Default

A couple of people have raised their concern that involvement in the Mardi Gras may be seen (by church members and perhaps by the Mardi Gras organisers) as an affirmation of the promiscuity and lewdness that are part of the parade.  This is certainly not our intention.  The Mardi Gras remains the iconic Gay and Lesbian event and as such is the best way of communicating with the GLBT community as a whole.  So while there is much of the Mardi Gras which disturbs us, it is the best place to communicate with those who we are trying to reach - a strategy that was familiar to Jesus  (Matt 11:19; Luke 5:27; John 8:3-11).

100Revs Statement

Sunday 16 December, 2007 - 16:03 by 100Revs in Default

views (651)

As ministers of various churches and denominations we recognise that the churches we belong to, and the church in general, have not been places of welcome for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people. Indeed the church has often been profoundly unloving toward the GLBT community.  For these things we apologise, whatever the distinctive of our Christian position on human sexuality – to which we remain committed. We are deeply sorry and ask for the forgiveness of the GLBT community. We long that the church would be a place of welcome for all people and commit ourselves to pursuing this goal.

We ARE a group of Christian ministers who voluntarily and individually bring this apology.

We ARE NOT official representatives of our churches or denominations.

We ARE recognising the lack of hospitality, care and welcome that the churches have offered the gay and lesbian community.

We ARE NOT making a statement on the biblical position on gay and lesbian relationships.

Whatever Christians think about the Gay and Lesbian community, the log in our own eye is the lack of welcome that we have offered that community.
We invite ministers of every Christian denomination to:
1. Affirm their support for our statement with a comment.
2. March at Mardi Gras 2008 to convey the apology to the Gay and Lesbian community.  Indicate in your comment or email us confidentially at 100revs@live.com.au and we will keep you informed.  Our aim is to have 100 ministers march in Mardi Gras 2008.
Act now!
Rev. Colin Scott
