WORLD VISN, A GLOBAL CHRISTIAN ANTI-POVERTY NONPROF AND ONE OF AMERI’S TOP TEN LARGT CHARI, ANNOUNCED YTERDAY HAS CHANGED S POLICY AND WILL NOW HIRE GAY EMPLOYE WHO ARE LEGAL SAME-SEX MARRIAG. THE BILLN-DOLLAR-A-YEAR ANIZATN ALREADY REQUIR EMPLOYE TO AGREE TO AN EVANGELIL LIFTYLE , CLUDG ABSTENCE OUTSI OF MARRIAGE. IN AN TERVIEW WH CHRISTIANY TODAY WORLD VISN PRINT RICHARD STEARNS JTIFIED THE POLICY SHIFT AS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE DIVERSY OF OPNS ON HOMOSEXUALY SI THE AMERIN CHURCH. STEARNS ARGUED THAT WORLD VISN HAS HISTORILLY REMOVED SELF OM NTENT THEOLOGIL BAT FAVOR OF UNY AROUND THEIR RE FOC ON POVERTY. HE ALSO STRONGLY URGED SUPPORTERS NOT TO TERPRET THE CHANGE HIRG POLICY AS A SALVO WAR OVER GAY MARRIAGE. WH NAIVETé THAT BOGGL THE IMAGATN, STEARNS HOPED THAT THE EVANGELIL WORLD, AND PARTICULAR THE ANIZATN’S LARGE EVANGELIL DONOR BASE, WOULD ALSO LOOK PAST THIS “MOR” POLICY SHIFT AND NTUE THEIR SUPPORT.THE NSERVATIVE EVANGELIL BLOGOSPHERE IMMEDIATELY EXPLOD WH NMNATN. A WHO’S-WHO LIST OF FLUENTIAL NSERVATIV LIKE FRANKL GRAHAM (SON OF BILLY) AND RSELL MOORE (POLIL VOICE FOR THE SOUTHERN BAPTISTS) EXMUNITED WORLD VISN FOR S PULATN TO THE DARK SI. OTHER NOTABLE FIGUR MA CLEAR THAT THE ENTIRE CHRISTIAN FAH, AND PERHAPS EVEN WTERN CIVILIZATN SELF, IS THREATENED BY WORLD VISN AND OTHERS WHO PROFS TO BE CHRISTIAN AND TOLERATE GAY RELATNSHIPS. MANY URGED CHRISTIANS TO STOP THEIR MONTHLY FANCIAL SUPPORT OF THIRD-WORLD CHILDREN THROUGH WORLD VISN (EVEN IF MEANS BREAKG OFF RELATNSHIPS BETWEEN SPONSOR AND CHILD) AND SUPPORTG ALTERNATIVE ANIZATNS WHO DO NOT EMPLOY “UNREPENTANT HOMOSEXUALS.”WORLD VISN IS ARGUABLY THE BIGGT AND BROAST “PARACHURCH” ANIZATN AMERI, AND TH HAS THE UNENVIABLE ROLE OF TRYG TO PLEASE EVERYONE. UNFORTUNATELY, AS THEIR TRACTORS MA BTALLY CLEAR, THE CULTURE WAR OVER GAY RIGHTS THERE IS NO SUCH THG AS NOT TAKG SIS. NEVER MD THAT WORLD VISN IS BEG PUNISHED FOR IOLOGIL (AS WELL AS THEOLOGIL) SHIFTS THE U.S. OVER WHICH THEY HAVE NO NTROL. HOW DARE THEY SUGGT THAT MULTIPLE WELL-MEANG OPNS ON HOMOSEXUALY ULD POSSIBLY -EXIST WH THE SAME CHRISTIAN ANIZATN, PECIALLY ONE THAT ALREADY EMPLOYS MEMBERS OF PRO-GAY MARRIAGE CHURCH)? IN A UNTRY WHERE 70 TO 80 PERCENT OF ADULTS STILL INTIFY AS CHRISTIAN, WORLD VISN’S FAILED ATTEMPT AT A NTRAL POSN AMID WILDLY DIFFERENT THEOLOGIL POSNS STRONGLY REMBL THE BROAR POLIL AND SOCIAL BATE, WHERE ATTEMPTS AT NTRALY AND NUANCE TEND TO BE THLSLY PUNISHED BY BOTH SIS. EVANGELILS HAVE HISTORILLY BEEN FED BY A UNIFYG FOC ON EVANGELISM, AS WELL AS AN ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT WH SECULAR SOCIETY. BUT THE WORLD VISN SNDAL IS JT THE LATT DITN THAT THE “BIG TENT” OF COLD WAR EVANGELILISM HAS LLAPSED. EVANGELILS HAVE FOUND MYRIAD WAYS TO BLEND SEAMLSLY TO SECULAR CULTURE WHOUT, THEIR VIEW, SACRIFICG THEIR RE MMENTS OR MSAGE. (EXHIB A: ANY MEGACHURCH). BUT THIS ISSUE, MORE THAN ANY OTHER, SEEMS TO BRG OUT THE FUNDAMENTALIST ROOTS OF THE MOVEMENT. RICHARD STEARNS AND WORLD VISN ARE LEARNG THE HARD WAY THAT, JT AS MIDDLE GROUND DON’T EXIST THE BROAR CULTURE WAR OVER GAY RIGHTS, THIRD-WAY POSNS ARE IMPOSSIBLE THE AGMENTED LANDSPE OF EVANGELILISM. JAD BY ENDLS POLIL FEATS, THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT IS CIRCLG THE WAGONS AND CUTTG OFF THOSE WHO PROMISE.THE EVABLE PATH OF THE OLD GUARD IS TOWARD THE MARGS OF CULTURE AND SOCIETY, WHERE, LIKE THEIR FUNDAMENTALIST ANCTORS, THEY WILL PREACH DOOM OM A DISTANCE. BUT RICHARD STEARNS IS ONLY THE LATT A GROWG GROUP OF CHRISTIANS, EVANGELIL OR NOT, WHO ARE OPENLY WONRG AT THE POSSIBILI OF FAHFUL CHRISTIANY AFTER THE LAST “SURRENR” IS SIGNED ON A ERNOR’S SK. THE NEXT GENERATN OF EVANGELIL CHRISTIANS—THE MUCH-STUDIED LENNIALS—IS CREASGLY TIRED OF THE CULTURE WAR, WH S OBSSN ON MAKG EVERYTHG TO A TURN-OR-BURN DOCTRAL ISSUE. CONSERVATIVE EVANGELILISM IS LOSG LENNIALS GOBS, AND THE WORLD VISN FALLOUT IS SURE TO ONLY ACCELERATE THE FALLOUT. WHAT TRAIL WILL THIS NEW GENERATN BLAZE, WHEN THE POLIL DT EVABLY SETTL FAVOR OF GAY RIGHTS? CONSERVATIV MAY WANT TO WRE THEM OFF AS LOST TO SECULAR CULTURE, BUT THERE ARE MANY SIGNS THAT THAT A MORE PLEX AND TERTG FUTURE IS ON THE WAY. TO BE SURE, MANY PROMENT PROGRSIVE EVANGELILS THORS—RACHEL HELD EVANS, BRIAN MCLAREN, AND ROB BELL—HAVE OPENLY ENDORSED SOME VERSN OF GAY MARRIAGE. BUT A CLOSE READG OF ALL THREE REVEALS NOT A “PULATN” BUT A PRRY CHECK, AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP CHRISTIAN LOVE FOR NEIGHBOR AT THE CENTER OF THE FAH WHILE MATAG THE CLASSIC EVANGELIL FOC ON BIBLIL THORY AND PERSONAL TEGRY. WHILE THE MAGOGU ON BOTH SIS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY REJECT THIS AS BALD NTRADICTN, THE THORS (AND MANY LIKE THEM) ARE RVG A PLACE FOR FAH PUBLIC LIFE AFTER THE WAR OVER GAY RIGHTS IS OVER.EVEN THOSE YOUNG EVANGELILS WHO STILL HAVE QUALMS ABOUT GAY MARRIAGE N FD IENDS OUTSI THE WAGON CIRCLG. CONSERVATIVE EVANGELIL TIM KELLER, PASTOR OF THE LENNIAL-SWARMED REEMER PRBYTERIAN NYC, TELLGLY REF TO ADDRS HOMOSEXUALY OM THE PULP, MUCH TO THE CHAGR OF HIS CULTURE-WARRG BRETHREN. THE SPIRUAL FRIENDSHIP MOVEMENT, STARTED BY OPENLY GAY WLEY HILL, SCRAMBL THE TEGORI BY SUPPORTG ACCEPTANCE OF GAYS WHILE PREACHG CELIBACY FOR ALL BUT MARRIED HETEROSEXUALS. ACROSS THE UNTRY, CHRISTIANS LIKE THE QUIETLY FG A MIDDLE WAY THAT BALANC A RPECT FOR CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURE AND TRADN WH DISTASTE FOR ANTI-GAY ABSOLUTISM AND THE JUDGMENTALISM THAT OFTEN FOLLOWS .YET ALL THIS PENDS ON YOUNG CHRISTIANS, PARTICULARLY EVANGELILS, HAVG THE URAGE TO STAND NO-MAN’S LAND. I KNOW FIRSTHAND THAT IS UTTERLY EXHSTG FOR A YOUNG EVANGELIL TO THK PENNTLY THE CRATERED WASTELAND OF THE CULTURE WAR. I ULD N AND HI OM THE GAY MARRIAGE APOLYPSE, AND PERHAPS THAT WOULD BE EASIT PATH, BUT MY CHRISTIAN LL TO LOVE MY NEIGHBOR AND SHARE MY HOPE IS ULTIMATELY MORE IMPORTANT. BRAD KRAMER
