100 revs now 100!

100 revs now 100!

With the recent focus on religion and same sex rights, it is amazing to come across a group such as 100 Revs, which is a movement based in Sydney to sign on 100 pastors or ministers of ordained churches to apologise to gays and lesbians from being excluded from the church.

100 revs now has 100 members who have agreed to this statement (and have said they want more!):

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.
