Humility at Pride 2010

A few friends of mine posted Facebook links to this moving article about a Christian demonstration at the Pride Parade in Chicago last weekend. I don't want to say too much, because I hope you'll read it, but in summary a group of Christians took the opportunity to apologize for the way the church has treated the GLBTQ community.

This called to mind a section from Donald Miller's book Blue Like Jazz where he documents a confession booth that he and other fellow Christian students apologized to people on campus for injustices done and prejudices held by the church.

Parade participants are quoted in the article as being deeply touched by their act of humility and repentance. Forgive me if these questions seem like no-brainers, but I am really curious to hear what other people think about these (so, please comment *ahem* :) )

• Does this look like love to you? Why? or why not?
  
• What's so different about their action that it catches us off guard?
• How does this relate to justice?
