$1.2M Grant Aims to Add Gay-Affirming Churches

 

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and five partner organizations have received a $1.2 million grant to increase the number of churches that affirm homosexuality, bisexuality and "transgenderism."

The Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund — which seeks to be a "unifying force for social change" — donated the money to expand the "welcoming church movement," in which congregations are asked to accept all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Kermit Rainman, social research analyst for Focus on the Family, pointed out that the campaign violates God’s design for gender and sexuality.

"Gay activists and their allies have made no secret of their strategy to convince Bible-believing Christians and Jews that homosexual behavior is no longer sinful in God’s eyes," he said. "This false doctrine is playing out in denomination after denomination, with increasing discord.

"Christians are not called to rewrite the Bible in order to love our gay friends and neighbors. True love does not sacrifice the truth."
