-The N. Y. Metropolitan Area -Council on -Religion and the Homosexual-&#13;
(a proposed policy statement&#13;
(from the WHY Committee&#13;
&#13;
In order to promote a better understanding of the homosexual condition by the religious community in the greater New York Metropolitan Area and a better understanding of what the religious community has to offer the homosexual, the Council on Religion and the Homosexual sets forth this policy statement:&#13;
&#13;
1) To provide means of orienting the religious community (local congregations, councils of churches and synagogues, national instrumentalities, related schools and other institutions, and their publications) on aspects of homosexuality in accordance with testimony by homosexuals of both genders and available valid scientific data.&#13;
&#13;
2) To encourage and assist the religious community to re-examine its biblical and theological positions in light of contemporary social conditions on fundamental areas of involvement for the homosexual including&#13;
but not limited to the meaning of masculine and feminine, morality and ethics, salvation and redemption, marriage, family relationships.&#13;
&#13;
3) To encourage and assist the religious community to open its ministries of worship, fellowship; service, and outreach to the homosexual; to know him or her as a person, as a "thou" not as an "it".&#13;
&#13;
4) To encourage and assist the religiously concerned homosexual to find a meaningful relationship as a homosexual within the religious community.&#13;
&#13;
5) To encourage and assist further research and understanding of homosexuality by religiously concerned individuals and organizations, publications and denominational officers not only for the sake of improved honesty and accuracy but as a counter force to centuries of ignorance, fear, prejudice, and superstition on the subject.&#13;
&#13;
6) To provide an effective voice in our geographical area in behalf of homosexuals in matters of laws, police behavior, employment, housing, the military and federal government policy.&#13;
&#13;
7) To be especially concerned with young people facing the possibility of homosexuality in their own lives and with professional persons seeking to relate constructively with them.&#13;
&#13;
8) To cooperate with other Councils on Religion and the Homosexual in this country and abroad. To cooperate with homophile organizations in this country and abroad.</text>

              <text>I am a writer.&#13;
&#13;
In 2010, A Wretched Man, a novel of Paul the apostle, was released. In January 2014, Pilgrim Press, the oldest publishing house in America, published my latest book: Queer Clergy: A History of Gay and Lesbian Ministry in American Protestantism, which was a 2015 finalist for a Minnesota Book Award. A series of short stories based upon my Vietnam experience was originally released as Prowl, but new chapters have been added and re-released as Gonna Stick My Sword in the Golden Sand: A Vietnam Soldier’s Story. Through it all, I have blogged here, and hundreds of archived articles are regularly accessed through web searches.&#13;
&#13;
That’s my recent history. Here’s my background.&#13;
&#13;
I have deep midwestern roots in Scandinavian Lutheranism. Raised in Upsala, Minnesota, in the heart of Lake Wobegon country, I participated in many activities in my small K-12 school. I truly had a golden childhood.&#13;
&#13;
In the fall of ’66, I matriculated at Dartmouth College. In ’69-70 I served as an Army Ranger in Vietnam, receiving a pair of bronze stars for valor in combat. After discharge, I returned to Dartmouth and obtained my BA degree in ’72 with distinction as a history major, summa cum laude during my senior year.&#13;
&#13;
Then, it was back to Minnesota and law school. I received a JD degree from the University of Minnesota in ’75, and entered the private practice of law in St. Cloud, Minnesota as a civil trial attorney for the next twenty four years, retiring in ’99 to pursue a business opportunity in Caribbean tourism. In the early 90’s, I spent a couple of years, part-time, as a graduate student with the Benedictines of St John’s School of Theology in nearby Collegeville, Minnesota. It was then that I first considered a novel about Paul, and the idea festered until I finally put pen to paper a few years ago, resulting in the publication of A Wretched Man in 2010.&#13;
&#13;
My wife and I are lifelong Lutherans with involvement on the progressive side of ELCA political skirmishes. After volunteering for Goodsoil, an LGBT advocacy coalition at the historic 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly, my blog, Spirit of a Liberal, became a leading voice in support of the gay-friendly policies adopted by the ELCA. Queer Clergy: A History of Gay and Lesbian Ministry in American Protestantism had its genesis in the ELCA actions of 2009 and the aftermath.&#13;
&#13;
I have been married to Lynn for over forty years, and we have three adult children and two granddaughters.&#13;

&#13;
Sympathy and sex, by eleven Quakers&#13;
&#13;
by John Silverlight&#13;
&#13;
In one of the frankest reports on sex ever produced as a religious undertaking, a group of Quakers calls for a radically new approach towards morality.&#13;
&#13;
The report, Towards a Quaker View of Sex, to be published tomorrow by the Friends' Home Service Committee, reviews modern developments in people's attitude to sex, discusses normal sexual development, and urges reform of the homosexuality laws.&#13;
&#13;
Then, in a chapter called "A New Morality Is Needed," it refers critically to the Church's attitude to sexuality throughout the centuries.&#13;
&#13;
This historical survey, it says, "supports us in rejecting almost completely the traditional approach of the organised Christian Church to morality, with its suppositions that it knows precisely what is right and what is wrong, that this distinction can be made in terms of an external pattern of behaviour, and that the greatest good will come only through universal adherence to that pattern."&#13;
&#13;
Love affairs&#13;
&#13;
The tone of the pamphlet is set in the first few pages. While disclaiming authoritativeness--"our answers are tentative and incomplete"--it says forthrightly: "We shall have reason to say that sexuality, looked at dispassionately, is neither good nor evil--it is a fact of nature."&#13;
&#13;
The modern developments discussed include:--&#13;
"An increase in transient premarital sexual intimacies generally. It is fairly common in both young men and women with high standards of general conduct and integrity to have one or two love affairs, involving intercourse, before they find the person they will ultimately marry.&#13;
&#13;
"It is even more common for those who marry to have sexual intercourse before the ceremony. This is true, probably, of the majority of young people in all classes of society, including those who often have a deep sense of responsibility."&#13;
&#13;
The report says some people already recognise that a morality which condemns homosexuals is not Christian since it lacks compassion. It goes on: Is it equally recognised&#13;
&#13;
(continued on page 6. col. 4)&#13;
&#13;
that heterosexual morality may be defensive and insensitive?&#13;
&#13;
"Among the married, faithfulness may be achieved by 'working to rule,' but at the cost of depth and understanding: among the unmarried, chastity may be upheld at the cost of charity towards those in different circumstances."&#13;
&#13;
In the chapter calling for reform of the homosexual laws in accordance with the 1957 Wolfenden Report (its chief recommendation was that acts between consenting adults in private should no longer be a criminal offence) a note of sheet indignation appears: "When people hear that a particular lavatory is a meeting place for homosexuals, they shudder, and wonder at the lack of taste. But who has sent them there? If homosexuals could meet more openly and with less persecution, they would no doubt choose more aesthetic surroundings."&#13;
&#13;
'Absolute ballyhoo'&#13;
&#13;
The group has 11 members, six of them Elders of the Society of Friends, and included teachers, psychiatrists, a barrister, and a housewife. All except one are married.&#13;
&#13;
The exception--59-year-old Dr. Anna Bidder, research worker and teacher in Zoology at Cambridge University--is the person who initiated the group after meeting some young men who were practising homosexuals and who were distressed about it.&#13;
"I found that my fellow Quakers were less horrified than other Christians," she told me, but at the same time they found themselves ill-equipped to help.&#13;
&#13;
Dr. Bidder (who will discuss the pamphlet on B.B.C. television tonight with Paul Ferrus of THE OBSERVER) said: "There are those who say that if young people have done to bed together they are spoiled for ever. That is absolute ballyhoo, in my opinion."&#13;
&#13;
The report has provoked varied reactions among churchmen of other denominations. The Rev. John Hustable, Principal of New College, whose main object is to train ministers for the Congregational Church said yesterday that the thought it "too muddle-headed to do any real good."&#13;
&#13;
For one thing, it expressly stated that it was not an official document of the Society of Friends, but its title would inevitably give this impression. "Most Quakers I know," he said, "are likely to be pretty scandalised by it."&#13;
He criticised the group for "making no real attempt to discover the scriptural teaching on the matter. When it does quote the Bible, it does so somewhat tendentiously."&#13;
&#13;
Father Maurice O'Leary, Chairman of the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council, said that the report was rightly critical of the negative expression of traditional morality. But in its search for a new morality the group had over-emphasised the importance of the personal relationships at the expense of the overall purpose of sex, which was procreation.&#13;
&#13;
According to Catholic teaching, he said, the sexual appetite and instinct were good, but they must be controlled in a loving and permanent relationship, since in no other way could the overall procreative purpose of sex be achieved.&#13;
&#13;
The report was welcomed by the Archdeacon of London, the Ven. George Appleton, a member of an increasingly vocal group of Anglican clergymen who take a liberal, non-legaliistic approach to morality. (He is the author of an article also calling for a new approach to "Charity, Faith and Chastity" in the spring issue of Frontier.&#13;
&#13;
A possibility&#13;
&#13;
He did, however, feel the one section in the Quaker report was ambiguous. This dealt with the "triangular situation," which, it said, "is too often thought of as a wholly destructive and irresponsible relationship."&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Appleton thought that some readers might think the authors did not condemn the possibility of the relationship with the third party involving sexual intercourse.&#13;
&#13;
Mr. Appleton wished this had been made clearer. He thought that, in general, intercourse with the third party would be wrong since it would not do what the friendship was set out to achieve, i.e., do good rather than harm to the people involved.</text>

Page 3: "HOW IT STARTED&#13;
"Forget who you represent. We represent the human race. Let's start there." This is how Ted McIlvenna began his presentation to thirty informally dressed men and women&#13;
sitting around a fire at a retreat center outside of San Francisco. The persons to whom he spoke represented churches and homosexual organizations.&#13;
It was 10:00 p. m. on Sunday, May 31, 1964, but the consultation started much earlier. To list the exact steps would be difficult. Yet one fact was clear. The man standing before the group, Ted McIlvenna, started it all.&#13;
Earlier, as director of The Young Adult Project in San Francisco, Ted met persons for whom homosexuality created problems. Next he hunted for groups which were providing services for these persons. He found four organizations: Daughters of Bilitis, Mattachine Society, Inc., League for Civil Education, and The Tavern Guild. During his exploration&#13;
Ted learned that many homosexuals sensed a sharp division between themselves and the Church. &#13;
Ted told Charles Mowry of Methodism's Older Youth/Young Adult Project what he had learned. Charles, in turn, conferred with Roger Burgess and Dale White of the Division&#13;
of Alcohol Problems and General Welfare of The Methodist Board of Christian Social Concerns. These two agencies decided to join the Glide Urban Center in sponsoring&#13;
a consultation which would include representatives from homophile organizations and churches. Glide Urban Center's Lewis Durham and Ted McIlvenna were asked to prepare for a San Francisco consultation and extend invitations. Lewis and Ted worked closely with Daughters of Bililis, Mattachine Society, League for Civil Education and Tavern Guild in developing plans for the meeting.&#13;
BEFORE THE CONSULTATION&#13;
Before beginning the regular sessions of the consultation, many of the delegates had developed a common vocabulary on the basis of their first-hand experiences which included a tour of gay bars on the previous night. Starting from the Precarious Vision, a church sponsored coffee house on Bush Street in San Francisco, leaders of the Mattachine&#13;
Society took small groups of delegates to bars which cater to male homosexuals. Only in their loud music were the bars similar. Otherwise they were quite different and appealed to varied male clienteles."&#13;
&#13;
Page 4: "In one small bar, attractive, informally dressed young men visited in a manner similar to a typical evening in a fraternity house club room. By contrast, a second bar was&#13;
frequented by the black leather jacket crowd who stood silently along the bar and around the walls. Motorcycle tracks crossed the spot on the ceiling where white sneakers&#13;
were the only remains of a splattered man. All eyes and solemn faces greeted each newcomer.&#13;
Still another bar was well lighted. Its appearance and clientele seemed somehow to have "class." This place served only wine and beer. Its walls were covered with relics reminiscent of San Franciso's pioneer period. Patrons joked with the owner who wore shirts with humorous local jokes embroidered on them.&#13;
A quite different wine and beer bar (very dark and with very few patrons) featured a "drag show" on a low, small, well lighted stage facing the bar's entrance. The show featured&#13;
three men tastefully dressed in women's clothing. To scratchy records of female recording artists they mouthed lyrics and danced. Here all eyes focused on the stage rather&#13;
than on each new patron. &#13;
At one large place crowds rushed three bars. In the milling mass which included muscle men in tee shirts and professionals in expensive business suits, a native San Franciscan recognized a few entertainers, a respected psychiatrist, and a successful writer. One girl-young and movie-star beautiful-held the devoted attention of at least six handsome young men. But some observers referred to her as a "fruit fly."&#13;
When San Francisco's bars closed at 2:00 a.m. the remaining unmatched men moved to coffee houses where they joined teenage boys restricted from bars by ever-cautious&#13;
owners intent on keeping their beverage licenses. As the early morning hours passed, the coffee house crowd swelled. Finally, the foot-sore churchmen unaccustomed to the bar circuit retreated to their silent hotel rooms. Early Sunday morning the seemingly unsleeping homophile population departed for a picnic. Sponsored as a money-making project by the League for Civil Education, the picnic's fare included unlimited food, beer, and soft drinks. After lunch the consultation participants still bleary-eyed&#13;
from their late-night tour gathered to depart for the picnic already in progress. Many, many miles and a few hours later the delegates passed through a bumpy pasture&#13;
to the secret oceanside location. There about a hundred men and women talked quietly in clusters on the ground. A few"&#13;
