Having been raised catholic, Easter and Christmas would be the only times my family would (attempt) to go to church. I myself did not attend a church service in probably 15 years, except for funerals. It is new and interesting for me, that the Sunday church service, bible studies, Sunday school for kids, or things like liturgical dance are important parts in many of my friends' lives. So I made up my mind, and followed an invitation to the church service on the fourth Sunday of advent, in one of three dedicated "gay" = LGBT-churches in Akron. I know the place from a transgender support group already. Two friends of mine are playing in the fantastic music combo during the 2 hrs (!) ceremony this Sunday. I even take the communion, attempted to sing with the community, and enjoy being hugged a lot :-).
