incumbent
how do you answer this? (loosely) "i believe it is incumbent upon the christian church that they investigate the idea that it is possible for people to be born homosexual. my brother died of aids, he was a homosexual, i find their behavior abhorent... but he was my brother... he was always different, he liked to pull mothers' long dresses out of the chess and 'dress up.'" the man is at least 70 years old... i.e. not necessarily of what might be construed as 'new thought.' he grew up in the 'good old days'. he appreciated my responses.... my face was emotionless... not a scowel or one of snobbery. an interesting fellow.
