We attend a church (i won't name it) in midtown Sacramento; that i believe tends towards emerging. Something in my spirit isn't quite at home there, however. Do you know of any other emergening (preferably gay-affirming) churches in this area? I enjoy our new church; I just wish we wern't the only gay couple there Thank you for posting “the cost of restoration” I have recently returned to church, along with my (male) partner.

Once you've tasted it, you just don't have the stomach for anything else.... This brings me to tears because it is exactly spot on.
