Are Black churches beginning to reckon with their embrace of homophobia? [View all]
Every once in a while a reader will ask me to issue a response to their questions in my column. On this occasion, a LGBTQ Nation reader asked me, “What should be the mandate for today’s Black Churches?” The question suggests someone — I am hoping maybe a churchgoer or leader, a homophobe having second thoughts, or a LGBTQ Christian struggling to come out — wants a comprehensive response.
One of the mandates for today’s Black churches should be addressing its ongoing struggle with accepting the spectrum of human sexuality.
