The YES Institute was born of a desire to prevent teen suicides. On the YES Institute’s website, founders Martha Fugate and Connie Barden remember when the organization was founded more than a decade ago:

We began meeting with local community leaders and educators to find out what could be done to keep youth from wanting to kill or harm themselves. In these meetings we discovered two missing pieces to the puzzle of why well-intentioned professionals were not taking effective actions: they lacked education and they were not comfortable talking about homosexual men youth.

This led to the clear focus that was to become YES Institute – providing education and powerful communication that enables adults to serve all youth even when they are uncomfortable or hold conflicted opinions on the subject.

The head of Kenya’s Anglican Church has rejected a compromise over homosexual men bishops by US Episcopal Church leaders.

They have said they will halt the ordination of homosexual men bishops and public blessings of same-sex relationships to prevent a split in the Anglican Church.

“That word ‘halt’ is not enough,” said Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi.

Many African Anglicans threatened to leave the worldwide Anglican Communion after the ordination of the first openly homosexual men bishop four years ago.

The American Church was told to meet the conditions by 30 September or lose membership of the communion.

US bishops made the decision after a six-day meeting in New Orleans.

The local writer-activist who created the stage satire “Candy Corn, Christ and the Convoluted Creation of Golf” now is swinging from a cinematic tee.

Swartz Creek resident Antonio David Garcia has made a movie, “Fences,” in which he uses an unconventional cross-country trip to take a few swipes at the religious right.

Garcia plans to give the 75-minute “Fences” its first public screenings at 7:30 and 9 p.m. Friday at Good Beans Cafe, 328 N. Grand Traverse. Donations will be taken at the door for the Flint AIDS Walk (set for the following day) and the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

“Fences” chronicles a three-week journey by homosexual men-rights advocate Garcia in 2005 to find Oregon-based filmmaker Gus Van Sant (”Good Will Hunting”). Along the way, Garcia attempts to visit conservative Christian groups such as Dr. James Dobson’s Colorado-based Focus on the Family and the Kansas church pastored by the Rev. Fred Phelps, who is known for protesting at funerals.

In an impassioned Sunday morning sermon to more than 2,000 worshipers at a Wheaton church, a leading critic of the Episcopal Church’s liberal stance on homosexuality spoke against sexual sin, saying unity must come from transformation and obedience to God.

Anglican Archbishop Peter Akinola, a Nigeria-based cleric who leads the largest church in the 77 million-member worldwide Anglican Communion, is perhaps the fiercest critic of the U.S. Episcopal Church’s stand on homosexual mens.

His controversial visit to Edman Memorial Chapel coincides with a meeting in New Orleans of Episcopal bishops who must respond to a demand from Anglican leaders that they stop consecrating homosexual men bishops and ban the blessing of same-sex unions.

Last week, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion, attended two days of closed-door meetings with bishops in New Orleans, in hopes of avoiding a painful schism of the church.

THE Attorney General on Friday asked the High Court to dismiss a case in which two women said they were tortured by the Police and the LCI chairman of Kireka on allegations that they were lesbians.

Margaret Nabakooza, the State Attorney, said the complainants had failed to prove their case because the Police did not arrest them.

She said John Lubega, LCI chairman, arrested one of the complainants, Yvonne Oyoo, from a bar.

Oyoo, a Kenyan student at Makerere University and Victor Juliet Mukasa, a Ugandan human rights activist, alleged that Lubega and the Police tortured and molested them.

They argued that the Police treated them in a degrading manner after arresting them on allegations that they were lesbians.

Earlier, Lubega had told court that he found the complainants kissing each other in a bar and arrested them.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 23 (Reuters) – The U.S. Episcopal Church is in the middle of a wrenching debate that could end with its departure from the worldwide Anglican Communion over the issues of homosexual men clergy and same-sex unions.

Episcopal bishops are expected to wrap up six days of meetings and ministry in New Orleans on Tuesday with an answer to a request by senior Anglican bishops who met in Tanzania earlier this year.

They have asked that the U.S. church, by the end of this month, renounce the blessing of same-sex marriages and agree not to allow more non-celibate homosexual mens to become bishops.

The stakes are high not least because the Episcopal Church, with 2.4 million members, provides 40 percent of the budget for the operating costs of the 77-million-member global Anglican Communion and a substantial amount of the funds for overseas mission and relief work.
