New Adventures

I have recently taken the position of Director of Children and Youth Education (or some other convoluted title that seems to keep changing) at our Church . Our church is a fabulous one (check it out here) in uptown Charlotte. We have 3 main focuses, Purse Justice, Practice Inclusion, and Promote the Arts and we truly try and live out our focuses in the ministries that the church supports.  The next big thing we are involved with is Charlotte Pride.With that I became intent on providing some of our families with resources for talking about other types of families. I did a quick Google search and came up empty handed outside of a few references to books that are considered diverse, and the occasional blog post. It was amazing to me however to find that there were plenty of seriously not-loving articles on how to talk to your children about  "gay people". This baffles me, for so many of them were filled with inaccurate information and hateful words. Jesus came into this world...
