Biskup Michael Curry uva\u017euje o tom, jak n\u00e1s B\u016fh neust\u00e1le vede za hranice toho, co si mysl\u00edme, \u017ee zn\u00e1me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0159ijde \u010das, kdy v\u00e1s Bo\u017e\u00ed GPS nasm\u011bruje sm\u011brem, kter\u00fd lidem bude nep\u0159\u00edjemn\u00fd. Mo\u017en\u00e1 to bude nep\u0159\u00edjemn\u00e9 i pro v\u00e1s. V\u00fdvoj dlouho udr\u017eovan\u00fdch p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010den\u00ed m\u016f\u017ee b\u00fdt duchovn\u00edm zem\u011bt\u0159esen\u00edm; zem\u011b pod n\u00e1mi se t\u0159ese, samotn\u00e9 zlomy na\u0161\u00ed identity se posouvaj\u00ed a sna\u017e\u00ed se znovu usadit. Ale pokud to zvl\u00e1dneme, najdeme odm\u011bnu: nen\u00ed to snadn\u00e1 cesta, ale pod\u00edl na tom, co Bible naz\u00fdv\u00e1 \u201epokojem, kter\u00fd p\u0159evy\u0161uje ve\u0161ker\u00e9 ch\u00e1p\u00e1n\u00ed\u201c, pokojem z v\u011bdom\u00ed, \u017ee \u017eijeme cestou l\u00e1sky, bez rozpor\u016f\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My lid\u00e9 jsme chod\u00edc\u00ed svazky rozpor\u016f. V\u00edm, \u017ee j\u00e1 jsem, a zku\u0161enosti nazna\u010duj\u00ed, \u017ee v tom nejsem s\u00e1m. Jak lid\u00e9 \u010dasto popisuj\u00ed vztahy\u2026 \u201eJe to komplikovan\u00e9.\u201c Je to tak a my tak\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V roce 2000 byl Curry zvolen biskupem v Episkop\u00e1ln\u00ed c\u00edrkvi, kdy\u017e se c\u00edrkev pot\u00fdkala s ot\u00e1zkami pln\u00e9ho za\u010dlen\u011bn\u00ed a rovnosti LGBTQ osob v c\u00edrkvi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zku\u0161enosti a p\u0159\u00e1telstv\u00ed m\u011b u\u017e d\u00e1vno nau\u010dily, \u017ee gayov\u00e9 a lesby jsou stejn\u011b k\u0159es\u0165an\u00e9 jako kdokoli jin\u00fd. P\u0159esto, kdy\u017e do\u0161lo na ve\u0159ejn\u00e9 po\u017eehn\u00e1n\u00ed svazk\u016f (o man\u017eelstv\u00ed se je\u0161t\u011b nemluvilo), uv\u00edzl jsem v tich\u00e9m nesouhlasu, kter\u00fd mi v\u0161t\u00edpila moje v\u00fdchova. Homosexualita se odehr\u00e1vala za zav\u0159en\u00fdmi dve\u0159mi, ne u olt\u00e1\u0159e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A p\u0159esto mi b\u011bhem t\u00e9\u017ee v\u00fdchovy\u2026 \u201emiluj sv\u00e9ho bli\u017en\u00edho\u201c neust\u00e1le a d\u016frazn\u011b v\u0161t\u011bpovali jako z\u00e1kladn\u00ed hodnotu a z\u00e1vazek. Toto p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010den\u00ed poh\u00e1n\u011blo hnut\u00ed za ob\u010dansk\u00e1 pr\u00e1va, kter\u00e9 m\u011b zrodilo. Sly\u0161el jsem to po\u0159\u00e1d. Ale n\u011bjak m\u011b nenapadlo, \u017ee ta pravda mus\u00ed platit pro gay a lesbick\u00e9 p\u0159\u00e1tele ve v\u0161ech ohledech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jako biskup jsem slo\u017eil slavnostn\u00ed slib, \u017ee budu \u201ehl\u00eddat v\u00edru, jednotu a k\u00e1ze\u0148 c\u00edrkve\u201c. Tak\u00e9 jsem sl\u00edbil, \u017ee budu \u201emilosrdn\u00fd ke v\u0161em, prokazovat soucit chud\u00fdm a cizinc\u016fm a br\u00e1nit ty, kte\u0159\u00ed nemaj\u00ed nikoho, kdo by jim pomohl\u201c. Za\u010dal jsem si uv\u011bdomovat, \u017ee poslu\u0161nost litery i duchu obou t\u011bchto slib\u016f m\u011b vede ke skute\u010dn\u00e9mu rozporu\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rostl jsem a moje vlastn\u00ed p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010den\u00ed se vyv\u00edjela. Ale jin\u00fdmi slovy, st\u00e1val jsem se st\u00e1le otev\u0159en\u011bj\u0161\u00edm tomu, aby skrze m\u011b d\u00fdchal Bo\u017e\u00ed duch a u\u010dinil m\u011b nov\u00fdm. V tom spo\u010d\u00edv\u00e1 zdroj skute\u010dn\u00e9 osobn\u00ed zm\u011bny, v\u00fdvoje a prom\u011bny, a ten nikdy nekon\u010d\u00ed\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zesnul\u00e1 [laick\u00e1 teolo\u017eka] Verna Dozier\u2026 byla pro m\u011b skute\u010dnou mentorkou, u\u010ditelkou a p\u0159\u00edtelkyn\u00ed du\u0161e. Ve sv\u00e9 knize The Dream of God (Bo\u017e\u00ed sen) nab\u00eddla tuto moudrost: \u201eV\u017edy vid\u00edme jako skrze temn\u00e9 sklo, a o tom je v\u00edra. Budu \u017e\u00edt podle toho nejlep\u0161\u00edho, co dnes dok\u00e1\u017eu rozeznat. Z\u00edtra mo\u017en\u00e1 zjist\u00edm, \u017ee jsem se m\u00fdlila. Jeliko\u017e ne\u017eiji t\u00edm, \u017ee m\u00e1m pravdu, nezni\u010d\u00ed m\u011b to, \u017ee se m\u00fdl\u00edm.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
