Immediately after the release of the 'The Open Letter', a church periodical [The Mennonite] published an article about it: Open letter calls for 'radical hospitality'.
In the article, they also included a response from Mennonite Church USA - one which reinforced the definition of marriage as one man and one woman, but which also came across a little too 'tip-toey' for me. But then I guess they need to be a little more careful about the wording of their letters.
So why the big amen? Not for either of those letters, but for the comment in response at the bottom of the page written by Sanford C. Oyer [See link above]. That is the kind of response I like to see. There's been enough tiptoeing around this issue in the name of sensitivity. It's time to call it like the Bible sees it. Amen, brother Oyer!
