I do not understand why this issue has been made the poster child for Christian morality when it affects so few people (1-2%) compared with other sins so common in society and the church… I’m saying the church’s obsession with this issue has hurt the gospel more than helped it. Divorce among Christians has harmed the respect for marriage in our country far more than homosexuality. If you read any of the current literature on the exodus of young adults from the church, it is the church’s reaction to homosexuality more than any other issue that has turned off the emerging generation toward church.

I get a blank screen when I click on the link…tried numerous times. Anybody else have any luck with it?
It works for me, and I’ve had several other people comment in person. Try copying this into your address bar: http://danbouchelle.blogspot.com/2012/05/plea-to-christians-about-our-response.html

Great article, Jonathon. Brings up a lot to think about. I really like the “be careful of your knee-jerk reactions” focus, and how it advocates a larger view.
