"Can we find ways to be more open, more receptive and more welcoming to people who don't fit into standard categories? That's the essence of the debate. Some say: You can't adjust the practice without influencing the doctrine. Others say that you can maintain the doctrine and adjust the practice. I would be in the latter category. It's a matter of theological debate."
