Why Tony Campolo’s LGBTQ Reversal is Evangelicalism’s Tipping Point

…to LGBTQ people, it was a big deal. A very big deal. In his statement, Campolo, a sociologist who earned a doctorate from Temple University, said in part: As a social scientist, I have concluded that sexual orientation is almost never a choice and I have seen how damaging it can be to try to “cure” someone from being gay. As a Christian, my responsibility is not to condemn or reject gay people, but rather to love and embrace them, and to endeavor…

Re-branding Is Not the Cure: Campolo & Claiborne Miss the Core Problem in Evangelicalism

…of Jesus in as much red ink as you want, but Bible readers who have been colonized by a false free market gospel will never attend to what Jesus called the “weightier matters of the law.” 4.

Campolo’s change of heart, thoug…

Anti-Gay Evangelicalism is the Norm: A Less Rosy Take on the Evangelical “Tipping Point”

…herapy has been in decline since Exodus International shut its doors and apologized, it’s still Graham, rather than Campolo, who echoes the majority evangelical opinion on these matters. You can’t change this by highlighting Campolo’s shift or by proclaiming Jim Wallis to be “the quintessential evangelical.” My experience of growing up evangelical was less of a “big tent,” more of what I like to refer to as “the quasi-ecumenism of Biblical literal…

…ter of LGBT affirmation (she’s “for,” and he’s “against.”). Off-stage, Campolo lectured LGBT audience members who approached him that “when either side imposes its views on the other, it’s tyranny.” Campolo friend Andrew Marin, whose foundation “works to build bridges between the LGBT community and the Church,” lectured the mostly-LGBT audience at a Saturday panel on sexuality and justice about what he said was a history of LGBT antagonism toward…

‘Hey Jesus, Do You Love Me the Same?’: Out Christian Rock Star Trey Pearson on Closeted Industry Figures, His Evolving Faith, and Brand New Video

…lity, but also for LGBTQ acceptance and affirmation among Christians. His solo work regularly addresses these themes, and Trey’s 2017 solo album, Love is Love, was featured in Billboard Magazine and contains the powerful track “Hey Jesus,” a new music video for which was released today. [Scroll down to watch.] I thought I would take this occasion to ask Trey about his past in contemporary Christian music, what he’s focusing on now, and whether he’…

Is Proselytizing Ever Okay? Are We All Proselytizing All The Time?

…ndship evangelism.” I was surprised to learn that there are some, like Campolo, who believe this isn’t much of an issue. As Campolo sees things, vying for influence is one of the most fundamental aspects of any human relationship, which is a point of view on relating that I frankly find troubling. By contrast, I believe that friendships need to be forged around some organic connection, some aspect of common ground and that shared values are essent…

“The Left” and Islamists to Bring Down Judeo-Christian America

They infiltrated American institutions such as schools, media, even religious organizations—by making them open to “interfaith efforts.” And he claimed they planned the “Arab Spring” as a first step in the more westernized Middle Eastern nations by showin…
