The furor over the issue of homosexuality in the Episcopal church rages on. You may wonder what this has to do with us?
Well, a huge category of religious affiliation, which used to live in relative harmony under the larger banner of the Anglican Church with its J.I. Packer’s, John Stott’s, and Alister McGrath’s – not to mention its Whitefield’s and Wesley’s – is now in the most explicit terms possible casting off the authority of Scripture and giving up the precious ground of God’s design in man and female sexuality. This capitulation will cost us all. We need to pray that the rest of the “line” holds and that this isn’t a portent of things to come.
As Dr. Wayne Grudem argued so cogently at the New Attitude conference a few years ago, the issue of God’s design in male and female roles and relationships attaches itself to a host of other issues that start to unravel the moment we throw Scripture aside and embrace the bondage of so-called ‘sexual liberation’.
Mohler says all this much better and in the process informs us as to how this thing in shaking out in the Episcopal Church right now.
