Many American Christians also assume a moral libertarian approach, in which the church hides in the opposite corner
Somehow we can find a way to be Christians without engaging such questions at all. Moore reported he has talked to many young pastors of growing churches who share this sympathy. We already tried that with the divorce culture, and how did that work out for you? he quipped, The states attitude towards divorce hasnt only caused social harm
but also has influenced people in our religious communities to see marriage in a different way. Moore concluded, Evangelicals have been slow-change sexual revolutionaries
Many now wonder if they can be conscientious objectors in the marriage redefinition debate. The SBTS dean believed the Gospel is at stake in this argument. You are not calling sinners to repentance, Moore warned, When we do not speak holistically of (as the Scripture puts it) sin and righteousness and judgment, the people around us know that we are afraid.

it is time for ALL of us — whether Catholic or Lutheran or Baptist or other to defend the definition of marriage civilly and in each others denominations
