Introduction I am a pastor at the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Naperville, IL. I believe that all people are welcome in God's Realm, and that progressive Christians have a particular responsibility to welcome those who have been excluded from other communities of faith, whether because of race, gender, sexuality or disagreement with doctrine. [Disclaimer: All opinions I express here are my own, and do not necessarily reflect those of FCC Naperville or its members.]
