On
an on Autumn day in October of 2003, Andrew
Marin was walking to the famous Chicago
El train when all at once
his life and the lives of many others would
change.
The
Marin Foundation began that afternoon on
Taylor Street ; however, the years of exploration
throughout the realm of epistemological
truth, religion, and the GLBT community
was truly the core and the start of what
has today become The Marin Foundation. Andrew’s plan was undirected at the time.
As
he started back at UIC, he once again
reconvened his Bible study, giving everyone
involved a familiar and renewed sense of
hope and direction. Through extensive social,
theological and Biblical research,
Andrew and a number of his highly regarded
colleagues and friends, from PhD’s
in theology, psychology and GLBT studies,
became humbled and excited
for what the future held : The Marin Foundation. Reflecting on
all that has happened, Andrew relates, “As
someone looks back on their life, it never
ceases to amaze me how each step of the
way, no matter how insignificant the event
might be, or how confused we are at a certain
point, faith and hope will never fail us,
ever. Our job now is to provide an option
to the GLBT community; an option that has
the potential to effect all eternity. And
only by God’s patience and grace will
that happen one person at a time. Be blessed,
and BE BOLD!”
