Just over a
year ago, I wrote about how the British Columbia Mennonite Brethren Conference tookover the Cedar Park Mennonite Brethren Church in Ladner, B.C. over that
congregation’s desire to explore LGBTQ+ welcome and inclusion.
All three
pastor’s resigned as a result, and about two-thirds of the congregation left.
The lead
pastor, Lee Kosa, was accused of being a “false teacher” and stripped of his
ministry credential.
Today, two
of those three pastors have started a new church called Estuary—a church that
is fully open, welcoming and affirming of LGBTQ+ people.
I had a
chance to ask them how things are going a year later. Their answer? “There’s
life on the other side.”
