Rhode Island (home of 17th century Baptist Roger Williams, founder
of religious freedom in America), the Association of Welcoming and
Affirming Baptists - the unofficial pro-gay ministry of the American
Baptist Churches - offered its conference participants an emphasis on
international faith-based pro-LGBT ministries.
Rev. Robin Lunn, Director of AWAB, set the international tone
with her global-focused and visionary comments at different
stages of the conference, especially notably during the Sunday
afternoon (2- 4 pm, October 13) Membership Meeting held in
the Fellowship Hall of First Baptist Church of America.

Written in Memory of
Rev. J. C. Michael Allen (1927-2013)
Other Sheep board member, 2002 - 2011
Our commissioning to the work of Other Sheep occurred about
seven months after we had been called by the board to work as
staff volunteers for Other Sheep as Executive Director (me, full
time) and as Coordinator for Africa and Asia (Jose my
significant other, part time). At what point in time the
commissioning service had been planned, I don't recall. What
I do remember is my feeling a bit strange about the whole idea
of a commissioning service especially sense so much of my
thoughts on God was still in flux.

In addition: See the St. Louis Post-Dispatch article - "Rev.
J.C. Michael Allen dies; activist priest who once had
no religion."
Other Sheep is a
multicultural,
ecumenical Christian ministry
working worldwide for the
full inclusion of LGBT people
of faith within their respective
faith
traditions.
"...connecting people with
people and people with
resources..."
