Yet through history gays have always dominated religious life and churches.

I find in the Psalms much the same range of mood and expression as I perceive within my own life of prayer.

I have osteoarthritis, which especially affects my knees.

However one might pray - in any verbal way or completely without words - is unimportant to God. What matters is the heart's intent.

By my definition, prayer is consciously hanging out with God. Being with God in a deliberate way.

I have glaucoma, so use eye drops both morning and night.

Five days a week I drive from our home to the Episcopal Cathedral Center of Los Angeles where I have an office, my computer, and a wonderful sense of community - especially nurtured by the presence of several younger gay men and women who are good friends.
