Bo and Vicki, here are some reflections on your questions, with permission given to publish, and use my name
1+2) I feel quite positive about the new mission statement. Skyline's courage in living boldly into Jesus' call, is what drew us here. The biblical call "Ho, everyone that thirsts, come to the waters, without cost......." has motivated me for decades. Jesus put no conditions on who could belong in his community, and our intentions should match his.
3) Although diversity is not always easy to live with, it can lead to more understanding, richness, and harmony. It is a true picture of God's kingdom, more importantly.
4) God calls me to behave toward varying gender-preferences the same way I relate to all seekers, with a welcome so warm and genuine that it's irresistible, drawing them into our faith family, where the heart finds its home.
