It’s been quite a summer for those concerned about the future of biblical truth and morality in our society. Both the Episcopal Church in the United States and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America have voted at their conventions to allow and endorse ministers who are sexually active (non-celibate is the term they use) in same-sex relationships to be hired by congregations as pastors. … It is a set of decisions literally unimaginable just a few short years ago. The very likely outcome is that both of these historic denominations with whom we as Nazarenes share much of our historical family tree will be split in pieces, with congregations pulling out of the denomination by the dozens or hundreds. The heart of God is no doubt breaking, and the unity Jesus prayed for and pled for in John 17 will never again be realized.
