The current 'Moderator' (president, if you will) of the UCC, Gary Paterson, is an openly homosexual 'man' who has been in a 'monogamous' relationship with his 'spouse', Tim Stevenson, for over 25 years. Both were 'ministers' in the UCC. Note: Canadian law only recognized homosexual mariages in 2001, so even by ignoring Jesus' comments on homosexuality, they were living common law for 10 years!
The good news is that Christianity, REAL Christianity, rather than the leftist, 'feel good' 'anything goes' belief system that the UCC spreads, IS growing in Asia, S. America and Africa. Unfortunately, it is failing in 'Christendom'. Praise the Lord and Lord help us, in the West!
Thanks for your comment.
The article was not horrible, but there was something that didn’t sit right with me. Hard to say what except that it gives too much validity or respect to the communist churches and does not really talk about the severe limitations on Chstianity. He touches on it a bit in the anecdote aboutthe evangelist from the Philippines not wanting to say so in public for fear.
Also he misrepresented the 3 Self movement.
He finally got aroundtothe House church which is the real deal andus illegal.
They will still jail and torture House church members at times.
