95175        GHOST RANCH SCHEDULES SEXUALITY DIALOGUE 
 
                      by Jerry L. Van Marter 
 
ABIQUIU, N.M.--Responding to the call of the 1993 General Assembly for 
study of human sexuality issues, Ghost Ranch Conference Center has 
scheduled its second dialogue on the participation of gay and lesbian 
Presbyterians in the life of the church. 
 
     The dialogue will be held at the denomination-owned conference center 
July 17-24. 
 
     Citing the Assembly's call "to give careful attention to the insights 
of any who may feel themselves aggrieved by current practices, policies or 
laws relating to homosexuality and membership, ministry and ordination in 
the church," planners of the dialogue have invited four gay and lesbian 
Presbyterian leaders to head up the dialogue. 
 
     They are Doug Calderwood, born in Pakistan of Presbyterian missionary 
parents and a graduate of McCormick Theological Seminary;  Leslie Carlson, 
an elder and former clerk of session in Southside Presbyterian Church, 
Tucson, Ariz.;  Susan Leo, a graduate of San Francisco Theological Seminary 
and candidate under the care of Cascades Presbytery;  and George Lynch, a 
graduate of Gordon Conwell Seminary and Union Theological Seminary in 
Virginia. 
 
     More information on the dialogue is available from Ghost Ranch at 
(505) 685-4333.
