The Cost of Being a Bridge Builder Between LGBTs and the Church

Last updated on: March 11, 2013 at 9:09 am By Andrew Marin

The following post was written by Andrew Marin, President & Founder of The Marin Foundation. I feel the costs of the corporate LGBT and Church disconnect have been well documented for what this culture war has left in its wake. The broader LGBT community’s retelling of this story, in most cases, has the Bride acting more like Bridezilla than the Bride who, when the doors swing open for the first time, is standing in her gown, looking as beautiful as...

Living in the Tension Gathering – Mon. 3/11

Last updated on: March 10, 2013 at 8:19 pm By Andrew Marin

This past week, a document titled ‘Report on eliminating Gender Stereotypes in the EU (European Union)’ was introduced on International Women’s Day. The report was put together with the intention of advocating for effective sanctions on the companies and individuals promoting the sexualization of girls. The report caused an uproar across the blogosphere as some believe that it is laying the groundwork for internet censorship. The European Parliament will be voting on whether to endorse the conclusions of the report prepared... Read more

The Story.

Last updated on: March 8, 2013 at 3:01 pm By Andrew Marin

This post is written by Michael Kimpan, The Marin Foundation’s new Associate Director. Read his thought provoking blog, hit him up on Facebook, and follow him on Twitter. — There’s this story in the Gospels that tells of a man who came to Jesus and asked, ‘What must I do to inherit eternal life? ‘ That should capture our attention. I mean, after all… this is THE BIG QUESTION, right? How can we be ‘in’ with God? How can we know we’re not... Read more

All of our interns raise funds to join us, so if you would be willing to help make it possible for Brent to join us again any donations on his behalf would be greatly appreciated.

Ten Seconds

Last updated on: March 3, 2013 at 10:35 pm By Andrew Marin

The following post comes from the anonymous blogger behind The Registered Runaway, a gay man navigating his way through faith, sexuality and inner peace. I should start at the beginning and stop short there. It’s important to look at those small squares throughout the tape of memory. Those short significant moments in their every detail. True healing, I have found, has to come through something of a slow visitation. A breaking apart of the past, picking up small shards... Read more

But I Have To, Don’t I…

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 9:40 am By Andrew Marin

The following post is from Michael Overman. Michael is interning with us this year while working towards his Masters of Divinity at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. You can check out his blog at findingthebalance.net. Sin. It’s a short word that comes with a multitude of definitions, interpretations, and responses. It’s riddled with dogma and doctrine, and more often than not, is spoken with a certain harshness. It’s a word that, most of the time, I don’t enjoy speaking. I avoid it. I... Read more

Living in the Tension Gathering – Mon Feb 25

Last updated on: February 21, 2013 at 1:23 pm By Andrew Marin

For our upcoming Living in the Tension gathering, we’re going to be tackling a big but important topic: how do we interpret the Bible. One of our interns, Michael Overman, and a couple staff members, Michael Kimpan and Jason Bilbrey, will be leading us in a discussion about the many factors that go into how we interpret and apply scripture to our everyday lives. Feel free to bring a Bible with you as we will most likely be flipping through... Read more

Women, Lesbians, Slam Poetry and Ripping My Heart Out

Last updated on: February 12, 2013 at 6:19 pm By Andrew Marin

One of my very good friends, Karen Grace (above), lives in New York City. Her activist heart is filled each work-day as an employee of our country’s first LGBT homeless youth center. In the evenings, her overflowing creative juices are captured as she competes around the city as a highly respected and recognized slam poet. There are recent times we have talked where she reflects on how hard it is to wrap her mind around her everyday reality, literally living... Read more

Out of Blame & Into Becoming

Last updated on: February 15, 2013 at 12:35 pm By Andrew Marin

The following post was written by Kevin Harris, Administrative Assistant and Director of Community Relations at The Marin Foundation. “It is indeed an absurd illusion to consider that we can work for peace, which means to be actively involved with people who are behaving in an unpeaceful way, if we are inwardly turbulent and ill-at-ease.” ~Adam Curle For about 20 years, Chris and Phileena Heuertz directed the organization Word Made Flesh.
