Well the easiest way to resolve it would be not getting into the situation in the first place. Had the church not made the offer then they wouldn't have had to withdraw it.

Although whether or not the church knew the man was a homosexual before extending the invitation depends on which story you read, they did choose to extend the inivitation. That choice also had a consequence, which in this case turned out to be a boatload of publicity when they withdrew their offer.
