While chatting at a Missouri Democratic Party house party I learned of an interesting conference that will be held where I used to go to church. I thought the church was a tad too far to the right when I went there but I didn't think ALL of the folks were 'unsaveable'.

You can expect to get answers to tough questions, like:

* I don't think it's right, so what should I do?
* What should the church's stance be?
* What about gay rights and minority status?
* How do I help my friend who's gay?
I am REALLY curious to find our thier take on some of these answers. It is sponsored by Focus on the Family.
Should I go and learn what the church is saying about this issue OR should I join the folks who will be protesting just off the church property?
