Being welcoming to queer people goes far far beyond the narrow question of legalizing same-sex marriage.

I totally agree with that. Thank you for mentioning it, which centered me back on that main idea. I think that what I am really struggling with here is what "being welcoming" to queer Christians means, and how that expresses itself in the life of a congregation, and through the life of queer and non-queer Christians.

I think part of what I am struggling with here-- which I started to figure out and articulate below--is how being an out queer Christian in a church almost makes one automatically into a poster child for both Christian queerness and queer Christians, and how I would struggle with that expectation of being a poster child as being intrinsically unwelcoming.

I would be interested in talking with you over coffee or somesuch about your personal answer to that, as well as maybe a perspective from you as a member of St. James' vestry, though I should also get the perspective of a lot of other folks at St. James'.
