Sermon on National Coming Out Day, October 11, 2004, based on 2 Kings 5:1-3, 7-15 and Luke 17:11-19. Excerpts:
God always goes beyond the limits of what we think is possible. God always opens the doors or knocks down walls, in order to redeem— in order to re-make the world with love and truth. . . .
The Christian faith always come down on the side of truth and honesty. The Christian faith always encourages us to do away with shame and fear and self-hatred. The Christian Gospel is the good news that God’s love is offered to all people, especially to those who are outsiders, those who are rejected or despised by others.
