Upon reflection, I note I miss an MCC pastor who did hold a couple services I attended. I didn't participate in their communion, but I remember it was quite a bit more of a personal experience than what other churches do. That pastor died several years ago (not HIV). He was a super nice guy and a great person to have around when AIDS was running rampant. He gave good hug.
If the Baptists had approved of it, he would have conducted Brian's service in their church. When they found out he was MCC the family got a "HELL NO!" and they relented and let the Baptist preacher there do it.
It wasn't pretty. Brian's mom personally apologized to all of Brian's gay friends for the outrageous remarks that pastor made. (Brian was a negative example for the rest of us unSaved fucks, and if we would accept Jesus we could avoid dying the way Brian did)

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
