Why Natural Disasters Were Perfect Timing for Anti-LGBT Nashville Statement

Amid all the ruminations and critiques of the Nashville Statement, one aspect sticks out to me as particularly curious: the timing.

So movement people who had come in, to support and show up… are simultaneously hearing a concern about the building, while hearing my concern for the bodily safety of my people….
