Andy Stanley’s Church Leaders Rejoice After the Creation of a New LGBTQ+ Affirming Org: ‘That’s a Great Resource!’
In recent weeks Protestia has uncovered that not only is Stanley gay-affirming, but rather several ministry heads are as well. We wrote how when parents come to them with concerns and counseling regarding their struggling LGBTQ+ children, North Point recommends an affirming ministry for the parents, and affirming ministries and counselors for the children. In a few months, North Point Community Church is hosting a conference for a gay-affirming ministry where one of the main speakers will be Justin Lee, the founder of the world’s largest LGBTQ Christian advocacy organization that is dedicated to advancing the acceptance and celebration of homosexuality in the church.
Lastly Debbie Causey, an affirming pastrix who is the Director of Care ministries for North Point, and Amy Blakeless, an affirming ministry leader and head of Parent Connect, offered cautions for why parents of LBGTQ+ children should avoid their church, saying that it wasn’t safe because it wasn’t affirming enough.
While speaking at at the 2022 Q Christian Fellowship conference, the aforementioned largest gay advocacy organization, Causey and Blakesless praise and cheer a woman for starting up a LGBTQ+ affirming Network in Canada.
Causey: ‘We are starting a parent group virtually in Canada called Clearly Love to talk about affirming theology. So that’s a great resource.”
Blakeskee: You guys have a web page or how do we find you? Or are you public yet or no? Clearly Love
Causey: “Um, you know, more power to you guys, you know, Parent Connect, we try to run down the middle lane because we’ve got conservative parents or traditional, I guess, view parents and affirming parents all mixed together. And so one thing we do in Parent Connect is focus on loving our kids well and finding out where God has us on the journey.
So it’s really, really tough because we we don’t focus on theology. We certainly encourage you to have theology and that’s a journey we believe you have with God and working through that journey.
But wow, that’s, that’s amazing that you guys are are focusing on that.“
Blakeslee: “Go Canada!“
Causey: ‘We’re on Facebook and we have an email address. admin@clearlylove.org.’ So anybody that’s interested in that, you have it right there in the chat.
As far as Clealy Love: here are some resources they’ve shared recently.
