This project presents a transformative educational model that liberal churches may use to help discuss the difficult issues surrounding homosexuality. The model outlines the procedures, through questions, exercises and reflections that will help a liberal church, which has already affirmed the right for homosexuals to participate fully in their congregation, to uncover the diversity of opinion that exists within that congregation. That diversity may include those who do not agree with every aspect of homosexuality and this model is designed to life that up and promote dialogue about it. The research method incorporates library research, interviews and questionnaires. The design of the model uses theology, current transformational models, the church context where the research is done, and reflection. The conclusions find that much more diversity exists in this liberal church than thought and that could be significant in moving the process of including homosexuals beyond a vote to an intentional, continuing process of acceptance within any church.
