en Chair, Adrian Reynolds

The Christian world seems increasingly confused about marriage and sexuality. We’re all feeling that pressure from some place or another. Amidst such chaos, it is important that Evangelicals Now stands firm on Biblical truth, so the members have voted to amend our statement of faith to include an explanatory clause.

In the small town where I live the Methodist church and Baptist Union churches – both notionally evangelical – are holding votes on allowing same-sex marriages. Another local church already allows such celebrations.

Recently I have held my breath whilst the Lambeth Conference debates sexuality; I shall leave it to others to interpret the mixed messages. There is no doubt that Christians who stand for sexual orthodoxy seem like a minority in this country.
