This Week’s Reflection

This week’s message is in video format, featuring Rev. Dr. Robin Hawley Gorsline, MCCDC’s Writer-Theologian in Residence.

MCCDC - The Place To Be

Defending Same-Sex Marriage

Rev. Cecilia Eggleston, moderator of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC), says the Vatican’s recent statement fails to recognize the legitimacy, love and permanence of same-sex unions and is anathema to Christian tenets of “loving they neighbor.”
