Not Holy v. Profane

This image is of Hollywood United Methodist Church. That 20 foot AIDS ribbon went up 15 years ago in the height of the AIDS crisis. Some congregations actually believe the denomination's slogan of "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors." In June, both the California-Pacific and California-Nevada Annual Conferences adopted some measures supporting same-sex marriage, such as offering the names of retired pastors willing to conduct such marriages. The Cal-Pac conference also went on record opposing the anti-gay marriage amendment. This helps shift the debate away from being Holy v. Profane.
