| Homosexuality: Another Adventist Point of View |  
|
This paper was
originally conceived as a personal challenge from my mentors at Loma Linda
University. It does not necessarily convey the views of the Seventh-day
Adventist church, affiliates, any particular Seventh-day Adventist congregation
or employee. Gratitude on its preparation is extended to Kevin,
Vickie, David, Brent, Paul, Carrol, Ron, Myrna, Jamie, Doug, Larry, Ritch,
Anna, Floyd, Bev, Jennifer, Phyllis, Harv and Bob. I cannot identify
you further, but you know who you are! And a special portion of
gratitude is extended to my partner, Michael. Thank you for living
the creed that Christianity is about "falling in love" with the love and
loving of Jesus.
This paper is
dedicated to Seventh-day Adventist pastors, educators, health care professionals,
and laity that continue to risk their careers, reputations, and livelihood
on behalf of gay and lesbian Adventists throughout the world. Even
when we are forced to worship and fellowship together clandestinely, I
know our prayers are heard. You have my heartfelt appreciation,
thanksgiving, and respect.
