Mission
Attitudes towards gay and lesbian believers in mainstream congregations varies; some seek to be welcoming. The Eastern Orthodox teaching is that same-sex activity is sinful in the same way as all heterosexual activity outside of marriage in the church. In contrast, Axios believes that members' "sexuality and love are God given and healthy."
