Every time we talk about loving our LGBTQ neighbors, the same question shows up in our comments: isn't it our job as Christians to point out sin?
In this bonus episode, priest and public theologian Joash P. Thomas answers it. The only people Jesus talks about judgment with are religious leaders abusing their power. Everyone else gets grace. Joash argues the pressure to correct other people never came from Jesus, it came from colonizers and the western church that learned its theology from them, and he makes his case for LGBTQ inclusion straight from the book of Acts, where the Spirit is always out ahead and the church struggles to keep up.
He also answers the question a family member really asked him, "would you ever marry the gays," with a sacramental answer we did not see coming.
Short episode, big exhale. It brings the whole thing back to love, which was always the point.
