More Laura: Post-Runway
October 20, 2006
"We’re all wondering about how you’re doing, first of all. Are you holding up well?
Oh yeah, I am. I mean look, the whole thing is much huger than I ever expected, but I’m holding up just fine and it’s all very exciting and it’s all very good. You know it’s a lot like having a baby -- when you’re in the middle of it, it’s really difficult, but once it’s all over, you think: “Wow that was great, I’m really glad I did that.” In the heat of things you go, can I just quit now? That’s been my analogy for the whole Project Runway experience.
That’s a good way to look at it. We’ll save all the really gripping and terrifying questions for after the finale. But for now, here are some things our readers have written in wanting to know. What kind of sewing machine are you using?
I’m using an old Viking sewing machine that I’ve had for many, many years, and Viking was recently kind enough to give me a new Viking machine.
Rebel Church Grows in Brooklyn
October 20, 2006
Brad Pitt claims he won't get married while gay marriage contiues to be illegal. Meanwhile the federal government continues to enforce heterosexual marriage in exchange for benefits. The debate is raging.
Which is why this weekend, we were thrilled hear about The Park Slope United Methodist Church. They’re a small congregation in Brooklyn, New York, that have made a bold and radical decision: They’ve hung a sign out side their fence that reads: “Until all can be married within these walls, none shall be married within these walls.”
Having at least one “Church Gay” on the staff here at OUTzone, we sat down and spoke with Pastor Herb Miller, to find out just what is going on.
Your statement is that no one can get married in your church until gay marriage is allowed. How did that policy come into being?
It’s been in place for about five years. There was an individual in the congregation who was concerned about the church’s rules on marriage policies. The rules had just been hardened by the “General Conference” (sort of a ruling body) of the United Methodist Church, and this individual felt that we needed to make some kind of response to that.
He brought it to the Church Council, who decided it was an important thing to look at, and they formed a task force that spent a considerable amount of time, exploring the issue. They brought several options to the congregation to vote on. And that’s what they chose -- that the church won’t perform a marriage there until everyone can get married there.
