Ryan, I think you are right on principle, and I know lots of churches that have made the switch in the States. It’s easy enough to do on paper, too. But somehow it is just so much easier to say LGBT than GLBT (though GBTL would be OK verbally).

p.s. — Kelvin, I find it a really helpful list. It seems like something that should be circulated beyond the readership of your blog (wide though that is). Clergy mailing, perhaps? Inspires? MU newsletters? My Weekly and The People’s Friend?

Camel Milk
According to the BBC, Camel Milk could be the next big thing. It seems that it is saltier than "Traditional Milk". (Presumably this means milk that comes from cows rather than camels).It seems to me that those in the Camel Milk industry and those in the Porrige Oats trade need to get together. They could…
