QuoteThe First Christian Church is not a gay church, Jones said.

Instead, it is an open and affirming church, Jones said. This means that the church has studied the issues, many of which will be discussed at the symposium, and came to the conclusion that sexual orientation is a human condition, such as skin color or being handicapped, Jones said.
