On my journey to capture a ray of spiritual awareness, I decided to visit some gay affirming churches in Charlotte NC. I emailed most of them before I went. All of the churches responded positively and invited me to attend one of their services. Here is a quick breakdown with comments.

• MCC Church- Very friendly, we were greeted after the service with hugs. Casual attire. Nice service with small congregation.
• Wedgewood Baptist Church-  Larger church, decent service, and the preacher came up to us after the service and introduced himself.
• Myers Park Baptist Church- Very beautiful church with very large congregation. Service was OK. Most people were dressed in suits and ties. Easy to feel anonymous due to the size of the congregation.
• Center for Positive Living- A small church with positive, friendly people looking to change their lives and the lives of others through the teachings of Science of Mind. Great music, Indian flutes. Very touchy feely emotional services.  My favorite so far. The ministers are a lesbian couple.
• Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte-  Very nice building, services tended to be very cerebral and lacking emotional impact. However, the congregation was very friendly and inviting and seemed to do alot for the community including RAIN and other organizations . The minister was also very kind and took time to meet with me and my partner.  I will probably go back to try out another service.
• Unity Church Charlotte- I attended an EFT class at this church. The building is new and the people were very friendly, but I have not been to a Sunday service. 
• Center of Light Charlotte-  a Christian Mystic church. I have not attended any of their events or services but  will eventually. I emailed them asking about their stance on gays and they responded favorably. May be worth checking out.

UPDATE: Apparently some baptist churches in NC are being expelled from the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina for allowing homosexuals in their church!! The baptist churches mentioned above are considering leaving this organization because of this and are gay friendly.

All I know is that if Jesus was here today he would not exclude ANYONE. I think the baptist Baptist State Convention of North Carolina needs to ask themselves WWJD.
