LGBTQ+ welcome and affirmation: One of the biggest issues facing many denominations today












Canadian Mennonite Brethren aren’t the only ones dealing with the topic of LGBTQ+. Other denominations are facing it.

Some are becoming more accepting and affirming, others are becoming more hardline. In both cases, denominations are being split apart as churches leave or are forced out.

I wrote about this in my July 23 column in the Winnipeg Free Press, with a bonus reference to author and theologian Phyllis Tickle and the idea of western Christianity’s pattern of having a garage sale every 500 years—when it sells things it doesn't need.
