This document was derived from a survey by Parents and Friends of Lesbian and Gays ₁ and reported by Dignity Canada Dignité ₂ -- a gay-positive group in Canada.

Nineteen theologians were asked two questions:

• Question 1: In your opinion, does God regard homosexuality as a sin?

Included in this section are responses from:

• Part 1: 1 Baptist, 2 Episcopal Church, 2 Reformed Judaism, 1 Reconstructionist Judaism
  
  
• Part 2: 1 Independent Traditional Judaism, 1 Lutheran, 1 ex-Mormon, 2 Presbyterian, 2 Roman Catholic
