FEEL THE MAGIC, HEAR THE ROAR, THUNRTS ARE GAY
It’s helpful for background to unrstand that the Church of England, which Vghan is an ordaed mister, we have had creasg terventns by theologil liberals over this issue, advotg for the acceptance of homosexualy general and the blsg of same-sex relatnships. In the preface to a new edn of my book “Battl Christians Face”, which featur eights areas of stggle, cludg homosexualy, I wre that, to a greater or lser gree, I face them all myself. Do the disclosure that same sex attractn is one of your personal battl mean you are fg yourself as a homosexual?
The problem is largely ed by the fact that most of our ments on homosexualy are prompted, not primarily by a pastoral ncern for stgglg Christians, but by polil bat the world and the church. Also, unterg the simplistic bary mol of the world that people are eher born gay or straight (or, ocsnally, bi), we are prone to make overly dogmatic ments ourselv about atn and cure.
The n be heard to imply that homosexual attractn is jt a matter of personal choice. Rearch suggts that plete change om exclively homosexual sir to exclively heterosexual on is very rare.
