Welcoming those with SGA within the Church

I just watched an interview on youtube.com which is linked on Northern Lights www.LDSlights.org

It is an inteview of a BYU student, John Kovalenko, who discusses the future of those with SGA in the LDS Church as part of this interview. I responded on Northern Lights (LDSlights) as follows.

John K speaks here about the Church welcoming everyone across the spectrum of SGA behavior. As he speaks of this I get a vision of moving to a place where there is a community of those who not only talk to each other anonymously on blogs but of a time when there is more open communication and acceptance of those with SGA and those within the Church who are welcoming to those with SGA. I feel that this may take the form soon of those like John K who are more open about their feelings helping identify some wards and stakes where those with SGA and those who wish to help welcome those with SGA can attend some church functions together. I know several now who wish to begin moving in this direction. I hope to find others who want to be a part of this. As he says here, those who don’t abide by Church standards have to be given a place at the table, even though they cannot necessarily enjoy every Church blessing.

If anyone happens to come here with an interest in this effort, please leave a comment here or write me at schorona@isu.edu
