Presbyterian Church Performs Same Sex Marriages
In a monumental move, the nations largest Presbyterian denomination voted recently to change its definition of marriage and allow its pastors to officiate same-sex ceremonies in states where gay marriage is legal. This decision paves the way for gay marriage to increase across the denomination’s 10,000 church congregations. This is an astonishing event among traditional Christians.
It is also very illustrative of this enormous progressive trend that is taking place within the traditional Christian community. Already, multiple denominations are beginning to take steps to appease the homosexual movement’s pressure to accept, normalize, and legalize “gay weddings” as a Christian ceremony. The Episcopal Church started allowing same-sex marriage blessings last year, though individual priests have been performing gay marriage ceremonies for years in states where they’re legal. The United Church of Christ has allowed same-sex marriages since 2005. The Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations has officially been supporting homosexual marriages since 1996. And we can add the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, along with the Reformed and Conservative Jewish denominations.
Where is this leading? How is this happening? And what should we do? Take a moment to watch our most recent commentary on this shockingly incredible historic event!
