Gay Christian Devotion
Psalm 133
(King James Version)
1Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
2It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;
3As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.
Reflection
The unity of the Christian church is fractured. We are fractured by denominationalism, personalities, doctrine, creed, liturgy, and styles of music in worship. The church's unity is also fractured over the issue of the role of gay people within the church.
Gay churches tend to include people from many different denominational, doctrinal, and liturgical styles. In gay congregations, people are drawn together by the common desire to serve God and to express their love for God in worship. That common goal unifies gay congregations, and in that union gay Christians can find the pleasantness of brothers and sisters who are in unity.
