GAY AND MENNONE

Rachel Waltner Goossen People intifyg as lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr, and queer have long faced stigmatizatn and discrimatn many North Amerin Mennone church and stutns. But durg the past , two parallel nomatns, Mennone Church USA and Mennone Church Canada, have been movg sporadilly but irrefutably toward polici of clivens.1 The rise of LGBTQ… * mennonite and gay *

Lately, though, the Mennone church has been facg a spl over how to terpret that ial of jtice — and how appli to the qutn of gay and lbian membership and marriage. " Earlier this year, Wiman's church overwhelmgly voted to accept lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr members, and to officiate same-sex marriag. The official stance of Mennone Church USA, however, is that homosexual activy is a s, and that marriage is between a man and a woman.

"We unrstand that whenever a passage says, 'The followg shall not her the kgdom of God, ' and lists homosexuals, we believe that's a liftyle choice that you make, " he says.
