Spiritual Quote of the Day
In Christ there is neither straight nor gay. (59, Marcus Borg, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time)

Before faith came, we were under the constraint of the Law, locked in untl the faith that was coming would be revealed. In other words, the Law was our monitor until Christ came to bring about our justification through faith. But now that faith is here, we are no longer in the monitor’s charge. Each one of you is a child of God because of your faith in Christ Jesus. All of you who have been baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. In Christ there is no Jew or Greek, slave or citizen, male or female. All are one in Christ Jesus. Furthermore, if you belong to Christ, you are the offspring of Abraham, which means you inherit all that was promised.
We are all equal. This does not mean that we are all the same-we all have differences that need to be recognized and celebrated, but we are nonetheless all equal and deserve equal treatment.
We are all children of Godde. Knowing this within one's whole being has a transformative effect upon people, especially the downtrodden, which Howard Thurman writes about in his book, "Jesus and the Disinherited."
