“As a matter of principle, when people claim to be disciples of Jesus, I will treat them as brothers and sisters in Christ, Bishop Gene Robinson among them. He is not only a colleague; I count him as a friend and fellow pilgrim. I will commit myself to him and to them, even when I am convinced that they are wrong. I will seek to manifest a godly forbearance and ask that they do the same toward me.” From Living with Tares: Why I stay in a church that has seriously strayed from biblical teaching, by the Rt. Rev. Edward S. Little II, Bishop of Northern Indiana, in Christianity Today, posted March 7, 2006 (emphasis added; hat tip to the Rev. Ann Fontaine).
Bravo!
