Two weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity of spending time with a soft spoken lady. When I was introduced as a Pastor, I could see the pain and fear on her face. She told me the story of their family's struggle. This is her story.
THE CAN OF WORMS (Anonymous)
How long have I been walking with this can of worms, the lid tightly sealed? 10 years?
After a second visit to the psychologist, having been diagnosed with a terminal disease a month before, I realised with astonishment that the disease was not my biggest problem. My major problem is, and has always been, the church, and the loveless and judgemental attitude so many Christians have towards gay people.
How many times have I written this story in my head? Every time someone makes a negative comment towards homosexuality, every time there is an article in the newspaper on homosexuality.
