In celebration of the arrival of a new pastor, Jay Bakker, at the Revolution Church in Minneapolis, and Minnesota's (then-pending) legalization of same-sex marriage, Tony Jones and his family baked a rainbow communion bread.

"The gesture took on increased importance, however, when Bakker saw an interview with a gay man talking about how his first partner killed himself and how he had been put through shock therapy to convert him from being gay.  "Then the rainbow communion bread became a really beautiful thing," explains Bakker. "It was special to honor Christ as well as to honor those LGBT people who didn't make it this far and hope for a better future. It became a real source of redemption."  "
