Texas Pastor Uses Ash Wednesday To Send Message Of LGBT Equality
The Rev. Jeff Hood is using Ash Wednesday this year as a way to reach out to Denton churches and help them become accepting of LGBT members.
Hood, who runs a small house church in Denton, said there are only three churches that welcome gays in the area. So he wrote a letter about being an accepting place and taped it to the doors of about 60 churches last night [see excerpt below]. He said he included all denominations to start a dialogue about how churches can be open and affirming to everyone in their community.
