All Are Welcome Romans 10:5-13

This Sunday The United Church of Canada looks ahead to March 14th (3.14) and we call that, PIE Day as a play on words for pythagorean theorum (pi). In The United Church that term has come to be used for a Gospel of Inclusion that is Public, Intentional & Explicit (PIE) in welcoming the outcast into the church, particularly the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Today's lectionary passage from Romans speaks of "No distinction between persons and how All who call on the name of the Lord shall be saved".
