David Lohman is a faith work coordinator with the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force. He’s also a composer with a deep background in musical theater. Those tracks of Lohman’s life came together when he composed the hymn “For All the Children.” Catholics for Marriage Equality, at the urging of former priest Jim Smith, recently funded and organized the making of a music video around that hymn. More than 300 Catholics and others packed Cavalry Lutheran Church in Minneapolis for fellowship and song in front of the cameras. Faith Forward MN captured the day. Catholics for Marriage Equality hopes to have its edited music video ready for distribution sometime this summer.

Oh how I love our God, His creation, and the voices of the Faithful.
Amen
From someone who has left the faith community because of the hatred that has been loudly spoken from the pulpit and the media, I thank you for showing that there are those who believe in the real message of faith and love. Good Work!
