Extractions: Against UFMCC Congregation NEW YORK, June 2, 1998 The Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell, General Secretary of the National Council of Churches (NCC), wrote a May 29 letter to the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches condemning the bombing threat to a Metropolitan Community Church congregation in Bournemouth, England. "Our experience with the burning of Black churches in the United States has been an object lesson to us in the ways thoughts and words of hatred and bigotry are quickly transmitted into deeds of destruction," Dr. Campbell wrote. "My deepest sorrow comes from the fact that such threats and deeds are carried out in the false belief that they are motivated by Christian faith. The Gospel of our Lord without exception proclaims love of neighbor and the dignity of all persons." The letter was sent to the Rev. Troy D. Perry, founder and moderator of the Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (UFMCC), headquartered in West Hollywood, Calif. In a press release issued from the UFMCC, Rev. Perry said, "These threats are still another reminder of the important work we have yet to accomplish on behalf of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgendered persons. This marks the second bomb threat against UFMCC congregations in the past two months. Over the past 30 years, more than 20 of our churches have been victimized by arson or firebombing."

By that we mean that we willingly embrace such traditionally "liberal" values as helping and advocating for the poor, valuing the environment, recognizing as sinful such oppressive attitudes as sexism, ageism, racism, and homophobia. We believe that caring for those who are hurting is the chief expression of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Caring for others is the soul of who we are. It keeps us from being consumed with ourselves. It is the antidote for the toxic effects of materialism that is consuming our society.
