@canonpress Couple this with losing half their staff over the last 14 months and their reputation somewhere between the toilet and the gutter, methinks another offer should be in the works. 👏👏🙏🙏
We would agree to that it's permissible, sure, which isn't what's being asked. But after one party commits infidelity, understanding the range of 'mild' and 'malevolent' scenarios that encompasses the term, do you desire that most of those marriages can and should be saved, if they are able?
Anglican 'church' in Canada hosting a 19+ Halloween Drag show, being sold as a "night of spooky glamour, fabulous performances, and Halloween fun that might just challenge what you think a church event can be!"
Former Hillsong NY pastor Carl Lentz mocks people who say "the best thing to do to overcome infidelity is to never have it," says most marriages that experience infidelity should NOT be saved, and that it's RIDICULOUS to suggest otherwise.
This is Debbie Causey, a long-time pastor at Andy Stanley's North Point church and director of their Care network of ministries. Up until recently she was a board member at Renovus, a pro-LGBTQ+ activist and advocacy group led by many leaders within North Point.
She's sitting with Amy Blakeslee, who for years was the Director of 'Parent Connect' at North Point, an org she started. Here's how she described its origins in her bio for a Queer conference she was speaking at:
"Hello! My name is Amy. I identify as gay, my pronouns are she/her, and I’m the proud parent of three adult kids, one of whom also identifies as gay. Over the past ten years I had the privilege of meeting with hundreds of parents of LGBTQ+ children through my position on the Care staff at North Point Community Church.
As more and more parents reached out to the church for support, I began meeting with them in their homes. Parent Connect was birthed, one of the first church-based ministries in the nation created specifically for Christian parents of LGBTQ+ kids."

Holiness preacher Nathan Cox preaches that anyone who doesn't follow all of the strict “Holiness standards” (which forbids jewelry, wedding rings, makeup, hair dye, cutting women’s hair, beards on men, short sleeves, etc.) shouldn't be considered or treated like fellow believers
'Christianity Today' has such an inability to read their room, their takeaway is that they are PROUD of the fact that they didn't change anything about the 'Elisabeth Elliot is maybe bisexual' article, and want us to congratulate them for it.
This is basically "sorry you were upset." This is the whole of the new Editor-In-Chief's response:
"I know many people have been deeply upset by this article. The hardest part of our work is handling controversial subjects like this. We believe every story deserves fair treatment, guided by truth and grace."
ZERO self-awareness.
