- The Reconciling Ministries Network
(formerly Reconciling Congregations Program) has perverted the recent
Baptism study to promote homosexuality and their book says the same about

We Were Baptized Too: Claiming God's Grace
for Lesbians and Gays
 Within
the liturgy, congregations pledge to accept, love, forgive, and nurture the
newly baptized member. The church, however, often lives out this covenant
selectively forcing its Gay/Lesbian members into silence, alientation, and
doubt. It challenges the church to take seriously its understanding of
Baptism and
Communion
as a means of grace, justice, and liberation.
