Facebook community meets 4000 evangelicals and gays shows growth of inclusive churches
Inclusive churches, dedicated to gather without preaching against homosexual practice, have been growing year by year in Brazil. A sample of this is a community on Facebook that brings together 4000 members.
The idea of ​​the virtual group called Evangelical LGBT Dating is to protect gays and lesbians against "outside world". One of the participants, Douglas dos Santos, 18, is presented as a Pentecostal evangelical gay.
"I said I went to church just for interest by the pastor and the brothers," said Douglas, in an interview with journalist Anna Virginia Balloussier, the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo.
The young goer Assembly of God long heard that needed to be delivered, and this was fasting until chocolate: "They said that if I fasted would be released, that [being gay] was a thing of the flesh", he told .
Unlike the majority of homosexuals, he did not feel well in an inclusive church: "I had the fervor that I needed," said Douglas, who returned to attend worship services of a Pentecostal church.
As for Simone da Silva, 43, and Marcia Innocent, 55, just the opposite happened. As they felt repressed in traditional churches, they sought a place where they could adjust and began to attend the Contemporary Christian Church (ICC), the couple of gay pastors Marcos Gladstone, 39, and Fábio Inácio, 35 (pictured).
Simone, the mother of three children, he was "wounded by so many aggressions" suffered in heterosexual relationships, until it came to dating women. He met Marcia who was attendee of a traditional church, and heard the pastor who "had to be Adam and Eve, not Eve and Eve."
"I was wilting inside. It is not possible that Jesus does not love us, "Simone said. Marcia, who was trying not to express their orientation, said he did not feel well in the church: "It was dificultoso disguise [sexual orientation]. Always tried to brush the hair. Shirt, never, "he said.
The frustration of the two led them to find the inclusive church Gladstone and Ignatius, which currently has nine temples, scattered São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, and three thousand members.
The preaching of both is that the Bible should be interpreted according to the time you are reading, and argues that the passage of Leviticus which considers homosexuality as an "abomination" as something that was in the past: "The same passage says that you can not eat pork, touching the woman during her cycle and shave, "noted Gladstone.
In the services of the ICC, women play dressed in suit and tie, and men wear bright shirts while dancing with colorful umbrellas, as a frevo show. The celebrations attract homosexuals and their mothers and friends.
Soon, the couple of gay pastors will launch a version of the Bible, commentary, called "Grace of Grace" with explanations of homosexuality, racism and prejudice against women.

The Presbyterian Church in the United States may be approaching a change in its constitution that would bless gay marriage.

According to information of Christian Today, yet, the vote was completed in 40% percent of presbyteries governing the church, with 51 presbyteries voting for the acceptance of gay marriage, while 23 voted against the constitutional amendment.

MORMONS ANNOUNCE PUPPORT FOR GAY MARRIAGE AND CLAIM THAT INITIATIVE CALLS FOR JUSTICE FOR ALL

Mormons announce support for gay marriage and claim that initiative calls for "justice for all"
The agreement with the existence of civil union between homosexuals is growing in the United States, and the favorable end of growing: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that supports the so-called gay marriage.
The statement of the Mormon Church stating the decision was released in late January, when the direction of the name said he was "in favor of laws that protect the rights of homosexuals." However, compliance with these initiatives only exists if "religious freedom is not compromised."
The positioning of the Mormon Church was described by Reuters as "a rare conciliatory move toward a community with which the church has been at odds for a long time."
The support of Mormon is done within laws that create safeguards for homosexuals in "terms of housing, employment and other rights", since the position of the church is "justice for all".
However, the religious ceremonies of gay marriage in churches were not supported by the Mormons, just by demanding respect for religious freedom and traditional Christian liturgies.
"We believe that laws should be shaped to achieve a balance in protecting the freedoms of all people, respecting those with different values," said church elder Dallin Oaks, during a press conference.
"We reject the harassment and retaliation of any kind, including harassment based on race, ethnicity, religious belief, economic circumstances or differences in gender or sexual orientation," said Oaks.
Critics of the church's stance accused her of opportunism, saying the church is the wind of public opinion and who preferred not to resist the social movements. The name accumulates a history of controversy, because in its history, many faithful were polygamous, even against the legislation in force in the country.
