Kristin,
I remember your post 409! I almost commented on it at the time.

I guess I was blessed early with a church that had the accepting values you describe! The best way I have to describe it is to reference another post of mine, http://davesfaithblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/faith-and-emerging-culture.html. I think a lot of it was the Presbyterian denomination but I also think that church was ahead of its time. My post talked about the "emerging culture" but the time period was mid 80's before that term was even in use or recognized.

Keep posting!
Dave
