Working from hope, not fear
I wrote this piece as an op-ed over the summer, but it wasn’t quite right for a general-audience newspaper, and then I never came back to it.
From my own home state (North Carolina), to the hub of all things cosmopolitan and progressive (New York), headlines beg for an answer to a basic question facing people who call themselves Christian. How should we struggle over the question of same-sex marriage? My suggestion is simple. I appeal to my brothers and sisters in the faith to work out of a place of hope, rather than fear.
