Tired of the judgement and condemnation we've gotten from our church, I've been looking for a community that would welcome and accept us as we are (a family of three) and not try to change or make us give up our lifestyle. My wife has Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease and I've been her caregiver...

Hello, I’m a student at a very liberal seminary and would like to see how my perspective holds up here. What I wanna do is lay out some of what I’ve been taught, why i find it convincing, and see if any fundamentalist or evangelical can change my mind, or at least enrich my understanding. Let me...

The other day a pastor friend made a post on social media to his Christian friends, urging them to vote in the US midterms. He stated: Go out and vote if you care about fair treatment of women and their bodies, rights for sexual minorities...vote... Now, he listed other issues too, but the...

The United Methodist Church commissioned the Rev M Barclay and it is believed they are the first non-binary trans* person to be provisionally 'ordained' or commissioned as clergy in the denomination. In 2008, the Judicial Council ruled that trans* people can serve as clergy...

In a long and complex ruling, the Judicial Council ruled that same-sex marriages and/or partnerships are in violation of the Book of Discipline and that people in such relationships should not be consecrated as bishops. The Judicial Council also ruled of Bishop Karen Oliveto that "she was in...

As a liberal Christian, I know that I feel more inspired to advocate for and donate to causes that seek to create space and inclusion for LGBTQIA members of the UMC and other denominations. I think that this article gives some of the positive examples for how Bishop Karen Oliveto is inspiring...

In many churches and denominations, governing bodies are discussing how the Church should respond to the legalisation of same-sex marriages and/or civil unions. Some, like the Episcopal Church, United Church of Christ, and Presbyterian Church (USA) in the US, have responded by supporting...

What exactly is Fundamentalism? Is it the main stream media caricature of snake handling Westburo Baptist rubes American Taliban? Well that seems to be what the secular Left would love to paint Fundamentalists. So where did this characterization or label come from. The actual history should...

By Albert Mohler Do we believe that hell is a part of the perfection of God’s justice? Are we embarrassed by the biblical doctrine of hell?...The lesson of theological liberalism is clear—embarrassment is the gateway drug for theological accommodation and denial. Be sure of this: it will not...

I do not hate Seventh Day Adventists. I furthermore do not uniquely object to their doctrines; there are several other denominations I am rather more aggrieved with. For example, many of the liberal mainline Protestant churches such as the UCC, the PCUSA, and so on, at times seem to exist only...
