9. Well, the Disciples of Christ church
was in rural Nebraska. I'm sure that had more to do with the conservativeness than the doctrine. There's no way in HELL that the church I grew up in would allow a gay person to participate in the church at any level, let alone have a leadership position. Again, that could very well be due to the location and biases of the people in the congregation as opposed to any sanctioned church-wide bias.

The good thing about living in LA is that we've pretty much got the most progressive congregations in every church (at least, from what I've seen). Not a lot of evangelical crap going on around here! I just need to find a church/congregation that fits.
