Guthrie, OK churches host LGBT welcoming seminars
Guthrie, OK churches open doors and welcomes LGBTQ community
Many Christian denominations have been questioning their attitudes about the place of LGBTQ people in the Christian Church. Views are changing about who may be a member, who may be an ordained leader, and whose unions may be blessed. LGBTQ people have always been a part of the Church.
