An evangelical church in the state of Denver is actually one of the few churches that will accept homosexuality. The reverend, Reverend Mark Tidd has stated that they are trying "to live and live without labels" (Denver Post). The Reverend has stated that the right thing to do to accept everyone, no matter what they may be. This congregation has lost a lot of members and many churches of the same religion disagree with his beliefs, but the Reverend still stands by his views, which I applaud. I really admire this Reverend, I like that he is taking a difference stance among a lot of other churches and religions. I know a lot of my friends, who are homosexuals, have told me sometimes they have a hard time being Christian and a homosexual. It is also very hard for some of them to accept their homosexuality because of their faith. I am glad to see that this Reverend understands this. I am also pleasantly surprised that it is a reverend from an evangelical church that not only stands up for homosexuals, but also supports gay marriage. It is refreshing to see something different from a Christian Church.
