Adele Sakler, whom I've known for a few years, has started yet another "hyphenated" group within the emergent network-of-networks. She's calling it "Queermergent," and, as you might guess, it's focused on GLBTQ issues.

Trinidad. Adventist. Gay?!:
I am not sure I understand what you are saying in your post. Are you saying that that Bible is "unanimously negative" against gay relationships or straight ones?
The view of the Bible regarding male-female relationships is extremely variable and not always positive. The Bible mentions at least 3 potentially same sex relationships and speaks pretty highly of all of them.
I Just thank God these things are finally finally taking place and all the falling away that Paul wrote about is really true you know why it overjoys me because soon and very soon we shall see the King and he will not come in peace this time but with a sword and will separate the sheep from the goats ...........so keep up the good work sheep and GOOD RIDDANCE GOATS!!!!!
You are racing to the judgment homosexuality is still an abomination to God

"I could just as easily use that type of reasoning to say I want more than one wife or that I am "committed" to another woman and so since we both love each other it is okay to have sexual relations even though we are married to another person."
If you actually believe that, you must have a strange definition of the word "commitment". For most of us, it means, 'I choose you, as opposed to a bunch of people.'
"Tony Jones believes in the wide path to God, and it's a good thing because there are more of us on it than you would dream!'"
I think Valkyrie has your number, Tony. Boy talk about an in-you-face wake up call. Now, the question is, are you listening Tony? Are you ready to adhere to sound doctrine, or are you completely content on the broad path that leads to destruction. Oh wait! That's right, Emergents don't care much for scripture so I guess you're ok. (not!).
