World Vision: Why We're Hiring Gay Christians in Same-Sex Marriages
Christianity Today ^ | March 24, 2014 | Celeste Gracey and Jeremy Weber

Posted on 03/24/2014 8:14:00 PM PDT by Coronal

World Vision's American branch will no longer require its more than 1,100 employees to restrict their sexual activity to marriage between one man and one woman.

Abstinence outside of marriage remains a rule. But a policy change announced Monday [March 24] will now permit gay Christians in legal same-sex marriages to be employed at one of America's largest Christian charities.

Nope. They need to back it out or lose credibility.

Alleged capitulation which you won’t ever furnish any more information about than secondhand reports on reports. I know nothing more about Chik-Fil-A today than I did yesterday.

Doing a study on the creation, the fall, and the flood. Cross references to Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah as we were determining what the Scripture Genesis 6:5 was saying when it states: Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The fallen angels had taken human wives and was corrupting the human order. The Lord saved Noah and his family because he was the only righteous man on earth. The flood came 1065 years from creation. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because the sexual perversion was so bad that even as the angels came to warn Lot to flee, the men of the cities tried to attack the angels (God’s good messengers)...again strange flesh. To me it looks as if we are living in the days very much like Noah, where homosexuality, beastiality, and all kinds of perversions have become the norm. Add to that the perversion of the Gospel with the various charlatans (wolves in sheep’s clothing) who are false teachers and false shepherds, people’s love of God growing cold, the world going to Hell in a handbasket and few really care...

As believers, were are to be doing what pleases God, not our own selves. That is difficult, as so many things distract us, but the warnings are there. We are either to be about His business and will reap a reward for such, or we live for self and reap those consequences. Empty-handed we will enter, not to a reward, but to shame. Right now I would say that I am ashamed that I am not doing His will, but my own. I will be doing much soil-searching over the rest of this study.

(UPDATED) President Richard Stearns says change is a symbol of Christian ‘unity’ not ‘compromise.’

Beelzebub's specious feel-good lie is surely making its rounds these days.

So, will you defend World Vision’s decision as well (since you can’t get this from the horse’s mouth?)

President Richard Stearns says, It also allows us to treat all of our employees the same way: abstinence outside of marriage, and fidelity ???

World Vision won a Supreme Court battle which protected its right to hire and fire employees that disagree with its theological tenets in 2010

There’s a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution indicating that Dan Cathy has decided to not speak publicly about the matter in the future.

Catholicism hasn’t changed and, of course we are all sinners who strive to do better. Sad that secular society and some “Christian” churches have elevated perversion, as described in the Bible, and mental illness to be greater and more sanctified than the marriage of one man and one woman.

Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. I suppose I could accept World Vision hiring employees who are married who also happen to be non-practicing gays. But to me, what this says is that World Vision recognizes homosexuals shacking up and calling themselves married.

Which puts World Vision on the same list of organizations likely to enjoy my support as other predatory liberal groups.

Once again, a ‘compromise’ decision backfires; it will not be accepted by liberals, merely held up as evidence that the group is against gays since they won't allow gays to hold orgies on World Vision property, and from conservatives who know what marriage means.

Well done, World Vision, you've singled out a decision sure to tick off the majority. Hope you enjoyed having those good years of donations, as you're about to suffer a huge decrease in contributions.

“Marriage” = Anal sex between two men. Right.
