Your interview with Amy 3 years ago is an important marker in the on-going history of The United Methodist Church and sexuality in general - in this case that of gay men and lesbians. Amy talked about the potential of a trial and it appears that is about to happen. Thank you for the good questions you asked of an articulate responder. That combination has and will spark growth the life of both individuals and institutions.
