All Church members ought to feel that they belong. Whether they are gay, straight, Republican, Democrat, childless, single, divorced, educated, black, Native American, poor, young, or old—or whether they have doubts—we want all to sing with authentic feeling “I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” If we accept the responsibility of making our homes and church meetings more welcoming and loving places, withholding judgment as much as we can, then we will have taken a major step forward in building a bridge that those in a faith crisis will want to cross.
