They MIGHT be able to recover from it, considering the politically correct mindset of some Christians, but should they? No, not in my opinion. Think about it....they come out in support of something God views as an abomination. They didn't make a mistake; they deliberately defied Him. Christians should be distancing themselves from WV so fast you see clouds of dust.
Yeah, well, some PC evangelicals are fine with homo marriage itself. They can jump off that cliff if they want to. It's still wrong, and I'm not about to go with them.
Here’s a list of their board of directors:

Two are employees Christian hating Google!
LOL, note "we made a mistake."
Pure mealy-mouthed, meaningless drivel.
Thanks, wardaddy
Actually, when they came out in support of what is called homosexuals “marrying” each other, they showed their true colors.

RE: Upwards of 20 percent of the aid World Vision distributes comes from the Federal Government, and their initial decision to hire same-sex married persons looks very much like a pandering to ~that~ funding source,>>>>>>>
In that case the only thing World Vision or any other Christian organization can do to convince me that i can trust them is to stop receiving money from the Government.
Yes, improperly imploring the misapplied “mistake” excuse. That alone is cause for doubt as to the authenticity of their “repentance.”
I’ve been doing Google searches on all these guys. Mostly a bunch of liberals. No surprise.
Amen.
Can you share some details?
I did not read the whole piece, but I read enough to conclude that the writer is quite naive. One can certainly forgive them, but only a fool would ever trust them again and give them money.
finding references of “social justice”
several are from Presbyterian and Church of Christ churches (both officially recognize gay marriages).
It’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. This whole thing has served to separate some chaff from the wheat. There are many other worthwhile Christian charities in need of support.

Good point.
I am a Catholic, but I steadfastly refuse to donate to any charity that is sponsored by the United States Conference of Bishops because far too many of them support illegal immigration and think it is their moral duty to help illegals who broke into this country. I do not trust them.
If they're really sorry, they should resign, acknowledging they can no longer be trusted. That's what would demonstrate true regret.
We have to stop letting those who backstab us from having more chances to do so.
What/who is World Vision?
I absolutely despise the manipulation techniques people use against others using Scripture.
And that’s what this article is to try to coerce people into not pulling their funding.
That’s a despicable use of the word of God to put people on a guilt trip when they do right to wrong they’ve seen done.
World Vision recanted when they saw the fallout from their decision. If they had repented and changed their minds on their own, that would be one thing, but they didn’t.
They didn’t *repent* until they saw the backlash and loss of revenue. That is not *repenting* of wrong done. That’s a CYA, ooops, we really blew it, time to backpedal actions.
They can’t be trusted.
Too late. WV already showed its hand.
WV, you’re done.
