On August 29, a group of notable evangelical Christians put out a statement in Nashville, laying out what they see as the Christian attitude toward people who are gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual.
We, the undersigned, are clergy of many faiths, including Christian, who disagree in the strongest of terms. We want to state emphatically that we renounce the bigotry and homophobia that is at the heart of the “Nashville Statement” and want to make clear that they do not speak for all people of faith, nor Christianity.
We each celebrate that all people are created in the image of God and that the diversity seen in the broad spectrum of sexualities reflects a diversity inherent in God’s creation.
