Pastor says Christians must respect gays more
By Kathleen Faddis
Kansan staff writer
The Christian community needs to look at the unjust suffering that has been inflicted on gays and lesbians, the director of a campus ministry said last night.
The Rev. Jack Bremer, pastor and director of Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave., spoke to about 25 people in Gallery West of the Kansas Union about religious issues concerning gays and lesbians. The event was sponsored by Awareness Week, sponsored by the Gav and Lesbian Services of Kansas.
The week will wind up today with a GLSOK dance at 9 p.m. in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
"This suffering is the result of having internalized some of the hate that is directed at those with a non- sexual orientation." Bremer said.
He said that Christian gays and lesbians often suffered a painful
dilemma in that they might either have to leave the church to accept their sexual orientation or deny their sexuality in order to affirm their Christian faith.
"What is increasingly clear is that a person's basic sexual orientation is not something that the individual chooses," he said. "What kind of a God would gift a person with a sexual orientation that should be regarded with shame and not expressed in this life?"
About 10 members of Great Commission Students picked on the sidewalk in front of the Union during Bremer's talk.
Don Hermesch, the group's president, said members were picketing because they felt that Bremer was misrepresenting the Christian faith.
"The Bible is very clear on this issue," Hermesch said. "Homosexuality is immoral."
The protesters were invited to come in and participate in the discussion. They declined.
