Thread: An Adelaide church has left its ACC to fully include gay people in its congregation.

  1. #1

    An Adelaide church has left its ACC to fully include gay people in its congregation.

    From Another Church Sells Out (https://billmuehlenberg.com/2016/10/...-church-sells/). Mr Chilcott said Activate withdrew from the Australian Christian Churches, which has 1100 churches nationwide, in part because the denomination had joined the anti-marriage equality group Marriage Alliance. He said Activate Church already had members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in leadership positions. “This puts us outside of the Australian Christian Churches position on human sexuality,” he said.

    “In discussions with the ACC it became clear that our membership in the movement couldn’t continue if we were going to have LGBTQI people in positions of leadership — which we did know from the beginning. “As a community we’re also uncomfortable with membership in the Marriage Alliance and felt unable to be associated, via denominational ties, with that coalition.” ACC is the group Hillsong (and my local church) belong to.

    Yes, it's exactly what they should do if they have integrity.
