Make the Yuletide Gay, or Don’t, Whatever

Last updated on: December 23, 2013 at 9:38 am By Andrew Marin

The following post is from Brent Bailey, a Master of Divinity student at Abilene Christian University.

Peace on Earth & At The Dinner Table (For Parents)

Last updated on: December 18, 2013 at 9:52 am By Andrew Marin

For parents who struggle to reconcile their Christian faith with their love for their LGBTQ children, the holidays can be a time of stress filled decisions: Do I allow my LGBTQ child to bring their partner home?
