In the captivating video above, Bishop Gene Robinson encourages his congregants to pass out water during the Gay Pride Parade in New York City, 40 years after the Stonewall riots.
Robinson suggests that many Christians will pay a price for reaching out to LGBT communities, but in order for big changes to happen, people have to make sacrifices. Bishop Robinson also says that while many Christians believe the Gay Pride Parade is a total nightmare, in actuality it is God’s dream coming true, right before our very eyes.
Big thanks to Upworthy for sharing Bishop Robinson’s sermon, and the images of men in clerical collars and other Christians handing out cool water to Pride marchers on a hot day.
