					<description><![CDATA[Well .. I am a bit conflicted as well.  I do think Christians should ban together as this association has done .. On the other hand .. I did a search on their website for the word &#039;homosexuality&#039;  Result is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.willowcreek.com/googlemini/index.asp?entqr=0&#038;access=p&#038;sort=date%3AD%3AL%3Ad1&#038;output=xml_no_dtd&#038;ie=utf8&#038;lr=lang_en%7Clang_es&#038;client=white_frontend&#038;q=homosexuality&#038;requiredfields=googlecat%3Abooks%7Cgooglecat%3Avideo%7Cgooglecat%3Adrama%7Cgooglecat%3Amessage&#038;num=10&#038;filter=0&#038;ud=1&#038;site=willownet6&#038;oe=utf8&#038;proxystylesheet=white_frontend&#038;ip=10.2.1.37&#038;start=0&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;  



I did not find any affirming views .. I did find some celibacy views and perhaps some political views and concerns.  So I am not so sure what all this tent contains.  I have no conclusion here... I am just saying that for me .. the jury is still out.]]></description>
