The article All Are Welcome really has a special message on how the Church should be perceived. First, the Church has said that anyone is welcome to join the Church, and this in fact is the case. The Church, to its very core, has always been open to anyone joining it and learning the teachings of Christ. It was in fact Christ that founded the Church on this primary basis.
Though anyone could join the Church, there is one condition that the faithful must keep. The faithful must always love and respect all members of the Church, but must always uphold the truth that Church keeps. This means that although a member of the Church has committed a sin, other members must continue to love and respect that person, but also recognize that the sin was a bad thing to do. It is important not judge the person, but the sin.
