What happens in your church when Gay or Lesbian couples attend?

Nothing. You don't go to church to be chastised or judged; you go to pray and make peace with God.What happens in your church when Gay or Lesbian couples attend?
well.. you see..


i dont go to church (im an atheist)





but when i used to...


no lesbian/gay couple attended.What happens in your church when Gay or Lesbian couples attend?
Well, with about 15,000 other people in attendance, nobody really pays it any attention. However, I can say that I never say an openly Gay or Lesbian couple attend.
Our church removed the ';Sign in if you're gay Book'; 2 years ago. SHEESH!
First off WHY would Gay people want to go to church where they are turned away , to entice, The church or the people of the Church,God loves them But Hates their in moral ways,
Nothing -- unless they make a scene. Same as anyone else.





How would anyone know that they were gay anyway?
Will they announce upon entering that they are a gay couple? Or just come in like everyone else?
Anyone who wants to worship God with respect and humility is welcome in Church. Anyone burdened with sins (me included) is welcome in the confessional and at the altar of God's mercy.





But I have to ask...how is everyone going to know they are gay or lesbian just by looking at them? It's not really a realistic question.
They are welcomed with open arms.





My church (Unitarian Universalist) is officially a Welcoming Congregation. We support all people of all sexual orientations and their families. We have many openly gay ministers, perform same-sex unions, and are at the forefront of the helping then achieve their full legal rights in society.





For the past year, my church building has been flying a banner from it's bell tower which proclaims ';Civil Marriage is a Civil Right';.
How would anyone know they are a couple, unless they were holding hands or acting in an unappropriate way? They would just be two friends going to church, right?





Let me be perfectly clear: If I were the Pastor of a House of God, and any persons came in and acting disrespectfully they would be booted out in a heartbeat.


It's not your house. Its Gods House, and I would be damned if someone will disrespect my God in his own House.


I would feel the same way if I was your friend, and someone came to your house and disrespected you.





This world is ripe for a harvest, and boy is there gonna be some correction coming.....along with alot of teaching and the strictest disipline, both needed badly.
Nothing. At my (Christian) church we believe that all people have value and worth. As followers of Jesus we have to love all people even if we personally don't agree with something someone is/does/believes. We can't judge others because we're not blameless ourselves. We accept straight, gay, bi, women, men, children, divorced, married, never married, white, black, homeless, nonhomeless, mental illness, no mental illness, and etc. So a Gay/Lesbian couple is treated the same way any other couple is treated.
They would not feel comfortable because my church teaches the literal truth of the Bible. They are welcome, but they probably would not like it at my church.
I would like to think that we wouldbe very sweet to them!! because god loves them just like he loves you!!
We treat all sinners the same.





A husband who beats his wife is just as big a sinner as anyone else.





A wife who falsely accuses her husband of abuse, just because she is mean, is also a big sinner.





Preachers who drive 65 in a 55 mph zone are also sinners.





We treat them all the same way.





Pastor Art
I don't go to church, religion is evil.
It has never happened. but I really believe that if they did attend that the preacher would preach whatever message he would have preached had they not came. I don't think my preacher has ever mentioned homosexuality. it is kind of like murder or robbery. people all ready know that its sin.
they get saved by asking jesus christ to forgive there sins,and get baptised in his name and are new in gods eyes not new to commit this abomination again though.
i dont know that any have. i've seen women come in together, sit together and leave together but whether or not they were ';a couple'; was unknown.


i've seen men sit together but i dont know if they were ';a couple';


not that i have radar to locate peoples sexual preferences. neither do i want any.





i'm there to worship God and hear the gospel preached. and if the man or woman from the pulpit started spewing hate towards anyone i'd walk out and not go back.


...
Well,I don't have a Church.The church are the people,but when we worship all is welcome.We do not condone their way of life but try not to judge them.We have enough of our own sins to deal with.
I don't think I know of any that attend our Church but the are all over so if they do a don't ask, don't tell thing, how would one know?
They don't.
Baby jesus cries and god kills a kitten.





Sorry, couldn't help sarcasm.
Pray for them! That's the best thing and remember, there's a reason for everything!
If they are in church they should not be there as a couple , but as someone who wants turn their life over to Christ and repent of the sin of homosexuality.
LOL you again...If a gay or lesbian couple attends our church we don't run them off HOWEVER our pastor preaches against their lifestyle so unless they realize the error of their way they most likely won't come back.
Nothing special.
I dunno.........what happens?
