Have you seen Out of Context?  "Helping Christians interpret scripture and understand gay people."

And God Loves Each One and Dios nos ama por igual are pamphlets that can be shared at an event or used to inspire discussion in your church and Sunday School class.  The Spanish version is not yet complete but a draft version is available.

Please Note: To reduce our Crossbeams budget for next year and spend the money where it’s needed, we are going to mail the paper version of Crossbeams only upon request starting January 2007.

You will still be able to download and print the paper version to distribute to your congregation, office, family and friends.

You will continue to receive the paper version if we do not have your e-mail address or if you contact us and request the paper version. You can make that request to crossbeams@gladalliance.org, to our PO Box, or by calling Mark Johnston at 617 536 8185.
