Soulforce, a gay-activist group, will visit several evangelical megachurches this year to "initiate conversation" and "change hearts and minds." Joel Osteen’s church is on the list. So are Saddleback and Willow Creek. Bishops Harry Jackson and T.D. Jakes will be receiving visits, as well.
Same-sex couples who are raising children are being recruited to be a part of the group’s American Family Outing.
Caleb H. Price, research analyst at Focus on the Family, said the friendly façade belies the goal of the group.
He said: “Soulforce claims to want one thing — dialogue — but in reality, what they’re trying to do is disseminate a false doctrine into the wider Body of Christ."
