through which to interpret this body of text [the Bible] on which our faith is founded....
My lens--and in this I am not alone--is the two great commandments.
You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your mind and with all your soul, and you must love your neighbor as yourself.
YOU MUST LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. 
And I don't see the word "straight" in there anywhere."
--The Reverend Lily Conner, Episcopal priest, in the mystery novel by Michelle Blake, "The Book of Light", page 41, published in 2003--
