Thinking outside the box in this case seems like an openness to same sex marriages. I'm not against divorces of those in such unions. I'm against put asunder,contrary to the teaching of Christ, what God has joined.

Usually it's the really conservative Reformed folks who look to John Calvin as an example. Sometimes folks focus too much on the wrong JC.

I found it curious, though, the comment that it was believed a man need only exchange vows with a woman and have sex with her to be considered married. I wonder if that was indeed the case. If it was, it could have been how they handled getting rid of some of the aspects of Roman Catholicism in their society. You'd think a theologian like John Calvin would have focuses on a clearer definition of marriage that did away with the assumption that a pregnant woman who'd been seduced was really married as an initial approach to the problem.

Thinking outside the box for Presbyterians seems to be in direct defiance of God's word. I really don't know what to say to that.

I'm more amused than surprised. Not much surprises me anymore.

I read the article, but I've already forgotten what it was about because of how awed I am by the thoughtful and respectful comments section at the bottom of the page.
