			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night before going to bed, I read a wonderful reflection by Lissa on her personal experiences with homosexuality and the Church. It was a wonderful reflection of her thoughts. Take a look at <a href="http://melisseus.vox.com/library/post/good-christians-dont-do-that-except-that-really-they-do.html">http://melisseus.vox.com/library/post/good-christians-dont-do-that-except-that-really-they-do.html</a></p>
<p>Most of you know that I don&#8217;t like &#8220;specialized&#8221; services (i.e. worship for 20-somethings), but what happens when the Church completely rejects a people?</p>
<p>[Note: I am completely avoiding the issue of homosexuality and the church for now.]</p>
