An Open confession from the People of Bonsack United Methodist Church to the LGBTQIA+ Community
You are the beautiful and beloved child of God, yet we declared you an abomination.
You are formed in the image of Jesus Christ, but we said you should be something other than the one God created you to be.
You are worthy of love and relationship, but we denied you the opportunity to marry in our sacred spaces.
You are called to lead the people of God, but we asked you to change in order to fulfill your calling.
We should have been your family, but we cast you out; we should have loved you, but hate spewed from our lips. We should have shared the hope of the Scriptures, but we made the Word of God into a weapon against you. We should have cared for you in your times of fear, anxiety, distress and discernment, but we turned you away.
We, the Church of Jesus Christ, confess these sins. We acknowledge the hurt we have caused and the lies we inserted as truth. We vow to turn from our broken ways. We beg your forgiveness. We ask God's help to be the family of faith you have always deserved, a family of love, acceptance, admiration, belonging and shared purpose. We covenant to be a community in which you feel safe and loved. We pledge to be your allies in the fight for justice.
Forgive us, we pray. In the name of Christ.
