THE SIN OF HOMOSEXUALITY IS DIFFERENT
by Ken Silva

Extra

Contemplative author and speaker, Brennan Manning says this of homosexuality and its relationship to Christianity:

"homophobia ... among the most serious and vexing moral issues of this generation, and both church and society seem to limit us to polarized options. The anything-goes morality of the left is matched by the sanctimonious moralism of the right. Neither liberal fairy dust nor conservative hardball addresses human dignity, which is often dressed in rags.
Abba's children find a third option."

Our Comments
Brennan Manning says that the fear of homosexuals is one of the greatest moral issues of our day. Is he implying that homosexuality is not a major problem but rather those who believe homosexuality is wrong to be the problem?

Conversations with Jason

"They call themselves new-evangelicals. Phillip Yancey devoted a whole chapter to homosexuality in his book What's So Amazing About Grace? He thinks we need to extend grace to people who can't change their homosexuality. He has a friend who couldn't, and that friend is a gay Christian. Tony Campolo thinks people who can't change their homosexuality should live in celibate homosexual partnerships. His wife thinks gays should just get married to each other. Lewis Smedes agrees with Richard Foster. They all seem to agree there are some gay people who cannot change their homosexuality, are not able to live celibate and therefore exceptions should be made for them."

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.

Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.
