Five hundred years after the first, a second Reformation is transforming the face of Christianity. This time the revolution is happening in the Global South.
I often encounter Christians who once were fundamentalists but now distance themselves from that kind of faith, which they found to be spiritually oppressive. Often, this distancing has to do with the Bible.
I read with interest Harold N. Miller’s thoughtful opinion piece, “Scripture Overrules Experience” (March 27). I support his statement that an argument from experience alone on the LGBT issue “is not able to bear the weight of overturning a longstanding teaching of the church.” When striving for unity in the church, we must deal with longstanding teachings, as well as with specific scriptures that condemn certain same-sex sexual practices.
