The Measure of Grace

Letter to the Editors

Thank you for spotlighting, in your Short Takes interview with Frank Mugisha (by Elizabeth Palmberg, March 2013), efforts by progressive and life-affirming Christians and other human-rights advocates. They have placed their own lives at considerable risk in order to counter ongoing campaigns by antigay U.S. evangelicals to tear down religious liberty, grace-based Christian faith, and a consistent ethic of life in Uganda.

Christians around the world are being measured by the grace and equality that they share with their gay brothers and sisters. When life and liberty are attacked by those who falsely claim to speak and rule on behalf of God, silence is not an option. Thanks again for breaking the silence.
