Club Adventist
Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.

It has been announced that one of the Lutheran Churches split over the various Liberal/not-Conservative actions or lifestyle.

I know you are not a prophet, but looking for your opinion if you think this might happen to us.

Here is an earlier link from last fall

Thoughts?

No, I don't like that there will be a major split. Of course, there might be small break offs. But actually I am fine with that. If someone like Samuel Koranteng-Pipim decides that ordaining women or treating gays and lesbians are equal in our community is too far, and he breaks away from the church - it will be more his loss then ours. And he probably knows that.

If one looks at the history of congregations or movements who have broken away, they tend to not flourish.

Hi Alexander. Welcome to our Forum!!

You mentioned a while ago something about "ordaining women or treating gays and lesbians [as] equal in our community." I just would like to hear you say more about this. Do you think the time will come (or should come) when the SDA church will recognize practicing gays and lesbians as members in good standing?

Thank you. John
