FOR THOSE THAT MAY BE INTERESTED: WE'RE GOING TO NEW BIRTH!!!  (Message #27)

A group of Christians (Soulforce) will be taking LGBTQ persons and their families to six mega churches in the country from Mothers' Day 2008 to Fathers' Day.

On April 5, 2008, Sourforce, and Pastor Troy Sanders, among others, scheduled a visit to New Birth Missionary Baptist Church for

the purpose of promoting safe, non-combative diaologue regarding people of our comminities with leaders and families of these

churches. And they hosted an information briefing as well as a training session on non-violent principles for those that were interested in joining their team.
