That letter described Bishop Bauerschmidt's position on gay marriage in the diocese and it struck a chord with many of these parishioners.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>We talked for about an hour and came up with the name All Sacraments for All People or ASAP. We made some notes of things to do including composing a mission statement and reaching out to other parishes to join in our discussion and work towards finding a solution. We started a email listserv that evening to facilitate communication among the group of parishioners. That was on Sunday. By Tuesday, 25 or 30 more people joined the group and by weeks' end they were over 100 members of the email list serve ASAP. This is an amazing outpouring of interest for All Sacraments for All People. Thanks be to God!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Clearly there is a groundswell of interest that needs to be addressed within our diocese.
