Unfortunately, in the Methodist church these days, much conversation revolves around the current debates and maneuverings regarding the issue of homosexuality especially as it pertains to church leaders. This thoughtful and honest article by Gary Ingraham brings the voice that needs to be heard in this acrimonious debate. There is no rancor or crusading, just compassion and simple testimony to Christian hope, daily Christian living, and God’s power to change lives day by day. This is the voice that is neglected in this debate. The conservative side has sometimes been lacking in compassion and is often hesitant to get into the larger issue of other sexual temptations such as pornography and adultery. By so doing they in effect pejoratively brand homosexuality as something apart. The pro-gay side does not want to admit that some gay people can successfully and happily become straight in their practice partly by interpreting their feelings as temptation.
