Discussion: What does LGBT need Spiritually

Greetings

I am getting ready to put a project together at my local interfaith church. They are gay affirming. because they don't believe in anything that seperates people from their higher power. I have Studied hard for twenty years. On various topics concerning philosophy and religion. I have found from the Bible to Japanese culture, and onto native american. That there were always lgbt spiritual people. Currently I have thirty thousand words on the topic. I plan on publishing this at some point.

I have some questions for you the LGBT community.

1. what would you like to have available to you in a church?

2. do you have any ideas or suggestions for this project?

3. what is your opinion on being LGBT and belief?

4. Do you personally feel centered or fragmented?

I'm going to try and keep this simple as possible. Opening it up to the rest of you to make your own suggestions. If there is anything I didn't cover. Please! post it. My interfaith church is about many paths leading to spirituality. it isn't concerned with evangelism or control. There was an LGBT program that kept getting smaller until it disappeared. The program was called "recovery." I don't know about you, but that term is offensive to me. It implies that lgbt are a mess. not everyone is a mess. yes there are many who do fragmented things. those are individuals who may have been hurt by society, family, or religious institutions. End result is acting out. Hurting the ones who love us the most. 

The other side of it is there are intensly spiritual homosexuals. People who are bright and brilliant. This last sunday Spirit gave me five slots. Two in the morning service. Three in the later morning service. I know my purpose and my call. It is to serve. I have been to the bottom. But I have also been to the top. So I feel that gives me the authority to sing about these things. In both services I played an original song. It is called "peace be still." then did two spirituals. for all the songs I played my guitar. I just started learning guitar a year ago last november 2006.

I'm getting off track here. Won't you help me to help others find their own peace? or express the joy they have? let me know your opinions on this topic.

Peace and Blessings
