Believing the Future into Being

Preaching on Pride Sunday, Russell argues that the church's 50-year journey toward LGBTQ inclusion (from Louie Crew founding Integrity to today's openly gay bishops) shows that intercessory prayer joined to action 'believes the future into being' by reclaiming what has been violated and centering the marginalized. She calls the congregation to keep pressing toward full inclusion of all the baptized, grounding the call in Jesus' and Leviticus's command to love your neighbor as yourself.
