Hello there -- Theo, CR's administrative assistant, here! In addition to Soulforce, the Reconciling Ministries Network is another organization with a clearly defined agenda for obtaining full acceptance of same-gender lifestyles such as legal marriage, adoption of children and recognition of "families," and all benefits and privileges possessed by heterosexual married couples. RMN is also planning strategies for the trial of UM pastor, Karen Dammann. Details below.
