"Our inclusion in
Christ is true only if it's based in the Truth of
Christian orthodoxy. Thank God, you're
building your ministry on reality and not on
passing platitudes of political correctness."
Dr. Ralph Blair,
Psychotherapist and Founder of
Evangelicals Concerned
"The true foundation of Christianity is showing
love and compassion to everyone and I applaud
you for following the real message of Christ."
Archbishop
James Long,
Provincial Archbishop of the
North American Old Catholic
Church
"This
warms my heart! Congratulations on taking a
courageous stand – we actually do have something to
offer as Christians, hopefully to everyone!"
The Rev. Dr. Lizette Larson-Miller,
Professor of
Liturgical Leadership at the
Church Divinity School of the Pacific
"I want to
applaud your efforts for InclusiveOrthodoxy.org.
Although your approach is not to underscore a
progressive Eastern Church, it is orthodoxy and 'O'rthodox
to underscore that Christ emphasized that we love
God and one another as he loves us --
unconditionally and without judgment."
Bishop Paul Peter Jesep,
Ukrainian Autocephalous
Orthodox Church
 "Thank you for
your work. So many gay
folks have rejected Christianity which has rejected
them. Most of
those remaining have to 'reshape the
facts of our faith'
to fit themselves in; it seems so few can embrace orthodox
Christianity.
Finally someone who thinks like me. It's
refreshing."
The Rev. Charles
Grande,
Chaplain (Old Catholic
Church)
"Inclusive
Orthodoxy asserts that we can be gay and Christian
without sacrificing the historic truths of
scripture. I agree wholeheartedly!”
Rick Brentlinger,
Founder of
GayChristian101.com
Author of Gay Christian 101: Spiritual
Self-Defense for Gay Christians.
 "Justin Cannon is perhaps
the most gifted young man of our LGBT community to
come along in many years...His
new website, Inclusive Orthodoxy, is unique in it’s
approach to being gay and Christian. He tackles the
problem that 'the more
inclusive an organization or denomination becomes,
the further it strays from the Apostolic
faith and core orthodox Christian teaching.'
I am in full agreement with Justin’s
statements and highly recommend this website to all.
God bless you, Justin!"
Mary Pearson,
ChristianGays.com
 "Justin Cannon's
efforts are so refreshing for Christians who happen
to be gay! How progressive to breathe orthodoxy into
Gay Culture. The Church will hopefully thank him
one day for helping Gay committed Christians find
their place at the Table."
Richmond L. Schmidt,
RichmondSchmidt.com
"Justin Cannon continues his impressive
ministry to gay Christians of all denominations with
Inclusive Orthodoxy....he powerfully demonstrates
that the teachings of the Christian faith do not
need to be sacrificed in order for the Church to be
inclusive of LGBT individuals. This bold and
much-needed perspective clearly brings home the
point that in embracing the gay the community, the
Church need not water down the Gospel message."
Sal Sapienza,
Author of
Seventy Times Seven
"It's always great to see more resources
for GLBT Christians in their journey of faith.
Knowing that the list of ministries that are
preaching inclusion is still growing is exciting
indeed! My prayer is that the message of true
orthodox inclusion will continue to be proclaimed
everywhere! Thanks again for your passion and your
work! Keep pressing on!"
The Rev. David W. Shelton,
Author of
