Q: When people question us
about our views regarding gay people and other religions (often their
barriers to grace/faith), how do we respond?
A: John
answers this question in No Perfect People Allowed. Chapter 7 is
entitled, "What About Other Religions: The Tolerance Litmus Test - Q1"
and Chapter 8 is entitled, "How Do You Feel About Gays: The Tolerance
Litmus Test - Q2." John says, "Leaders must understand the questions
underneath the question - the real concerns and issues that need
addressing to help people understand the amazing tolerance shown in the
offer God made for all people everywhere through Christ."
John's
answer takes two chapters in the book and is excellent. He addresses
issues like people's underlying concern of religious pride, how to
diffuse that practically in communication - and then how he
specifically addresses the numerous ramifications of these questions.
We would refer you to this resource. It is excellent.
