Andrew Marin in Love is an Orientation DVD trailer

In this small group Bible study on ways that churches can build bridges with the gay community, Andrew Marin, president of The Marin Foundation (a non-profit organization that builds bridges between the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and religious communities) helps small groups discuss, reflect, and know what it means to peacefully and productively build bridges with the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community.
Using the practical applications Andrew Marin has learned over the last decade of living and working in the LGBT neighborhood of Chicago called Boystown, as well as through his international speaking and consulting with churches, universities, seminaries, and government agencies, this six session small group Bible study offers a variety of practical teachings, insights, and life lessons on building bridges with the gay community.

Rather than avoiding the topic of homosexuality, Love is an Orientation aims to equip the Christian community to bridge the gap between the LGBT and religious community. This is not a study about "fixing" gay people. It is about getting to know them, engaging them, and loving them like Jesus does.

Sessions include:
1. Love is Our Orientation
2. Building Bridges
3. Theology of Bridge Builders
4. Answering Tough Questions
5. Adolescents and Sexuality
6. Living in the Tension
