BUT CLAY EVENTUALLY SAW HOW HYPOCRITICAL THIS WAS
"How would Jesus treat people who have been outcast, shunned, and sometimes marginalized by the church?" (Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place Church, 29 Apr 2018, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/266337311, minute 4)
CLAY KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE SHUNNED
"Another pastor received
an email from a church member saying, We're not going to Grace Place
anymore, and one of the reasons is they drove by and saw me sitting
outside City Star". (Clay Peck, Come As You Are But Don't Stay As You Are Sermon, Grace Place Berthoud, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/267279085, minute 21)(see graphic at left)
SO THE PASTOR LIKES TO PARTY "You know about City Star? It's a Brewery." (Clay Peck, Come As You Are But Don't Stay As You Are Sermon, Grace Place Berthoud, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/267279085, minute 20)(see graphic at right)
CLAY WAS GETTING MARGINALIZED OVER HIS FONDNESS FOR BEER AND WEED
"I smoked marijuana almost daily and abused alcohol every chance I got." (Clay Peck, My Journey Out of Legalism, Testimony of 15 Jan 2000, http://www.formeradventist.com/stories/claypeck.html)(see graphic at left)PASTOR EXPERIENCES CONDEMNATION AND TRAUMA
"I got suspended a couple times and finally quit halfway through my junior year. (I say I "quit" actually I declared that I quit when they called me in to kick me out, so that it would go on my record as withdrawing rather than being expelled)." (Clay Peck, My Journey Out of Legalism, Testimony of 15 Jan 2000, http://www.formeradventist.com/stories/claypeck.html)
"In those days it was not a good thing to get stoned." (Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place Church, 29 Apr 2018, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/266337311, minute 40)
MIND YOU, A JOINT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A JOINT, BUT SO MUCH HARASSMENT AFTERWARDS
BUT TIMES HAVE CHANGED
"With the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado, many people are now planning their vacations to our beautiful state." https://www.coloradopotguide.com/
WHILE GAYS WERE STILL GETTING THE COLD SHOULDER
"One of my friends invited his gay neighbors to come to church." (Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place Church, 29 Apr 2018, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/266337311, minute 4)
BUT GAYS DIDN'T WANT TO COME ANYWHERE NEAR GRACE PLACE
"Why would we want to go there to be judged and hear how bad we are?" (Gays cited in Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place Church, 29 Apr 2018, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/266337311, minute 4)
GRACE PLACE CONFESSION
"We have left a wake of hurt people, and there's a lot of repenting to do." (Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place Church, 29 Apr 2018, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/266337311, minute 20)
AND ONCE WORD OF CLAY'S CONFESSION GOT AROUND
NEW AGE OF TOLERANCE DAWNS AT GRACE PLACE
"It is dangerous, and therefore inappropriate, to tell someone to change their orientation". (Clay Peck, Separation of Church and Hate Sermon, Grace Place Church, 29 Apr 2018, https://vimeo.com/channels/1060738/266337311, minute 31)(see screenshot at left from Charisma, https://www.charismamag.com/video/36775-pastor-repents-to-lgbt-community-welcomes-them-to-his-church)
