Respond to the Picture
How would your church respond to the gay couple above? Would they say NO? Some would say your church hasn’t evolved. Do you need to evolve?
Gay Marriage
The only way to know is to think through the following scenario. Two people (same sex) come to your church to get married? How do you respond?
Do you need to Evolve? YES!!!
How to Evolve
Create a policy. A friend of mine realized last year, his churches could be sued if they didn’t marry (or discriminated against) gay couples desiring marriage.
If you didn’t know, some churches don’t promote gay marriage. Others have questions about what the bible says about marriage. You can’t just ignore the issue of gay marriage. Some church planting organizations recommend churches to have a policy_regarding_marriage {click to view a copy}. The policy clearly defines the churches views on marriage. If you create one yourself stick to your beliefs. Changing your policy after you have discriminated would be to late… To evolve you don’t have to change you belief just write down what you already believe.
How does your church define marriage?
{I’ll admit I’m no pro-blogger. I just wanted to inform that you may need to create a policy reguarding marriage}
