LTRP Note<\/strong>: For those who still haven’t come to understand that mainstream evangelical Christianity has entered into an apostate state, leaving biblical Christianity behind, this article from a secular news source should be most convincing. As for World Vision, Lighthouse Trails has reported on a number of different occasions the emerging direction in which World Vision has been going and obviously has arrived.

“Major Evangelical Charity to Hire Married Gay Christians”<\/h3>\n

The prominent Christian relief agency World Vision said Monday it will hire Christians who are in same-sex marriages, a dramatic policy change on one of the most divisive social issues facing religious groups.<\/p>\n

Richard Stearns, president of the international humanitarian relief group, announced the hiring change for the United States in a letter to staff. Stearns said the World Vision board had prayed for years about how to handle the issue as Christian denominations took different stands on recognizing same-sex relationships.<\/p>\n

“The board and I wanted to prevent this divisive issue from tearing World Vision apart and potentially crippling our ability to accomplish our vital kingdom mission of living and serving the poorest of the poor in the name of Christ,” Stearns wrote in the letter.<\/p>\n

The agency’s new hiring policy was first reported by Christianity Today<\/em> magazine.<\/p>\n

Based in Washington state and started by evangelicals, World Vision now has an international operating budget of nearly $1 billion and conducts economic development and emergency relief projects around the world. Last year, the charity reported receiving 18 percent of its annual funding from the federal government. Click here<\/a> to continue.<\/p>\n
