The Statement of Welcome & Inclusion under consideration at Waterloo North Mennonite Church proposes a response by this congregation to the question of same-sex relationships. It announces a welcome to all people in general, and expresses an intention to not discriminate on the basis of a number of categories, including sexual orientation. A copy of the proposed statement is replicated at the end of this post (it has not yet been approved by the congregation). I have a few concerns about the implications of this statement.
