You may remember several years ago, it was really big news when John Piper, James Dobson, Francis Chan, and like 24,000 other Christian leaders, they signed onto the statement by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood.
Brandon KinderHOST
It was called the Nashville Statement and it affirmed a conservative evangelical interpretation of biblical sexuality and gender.
Brandon KinderHOST
And I remember just being appalled by it and the fact that so many people signed onto it, but of course I wasn't surprised.
Brandon KinderHOST
And then shortly after, Nadia Bowles-Weber and friends, they put out a response called the Denver Statement, which challenged those exclusions and affirmed LGBTQ belonging.
Brandon KinderHOST
And it was just a beautiful point-by-point response that kind of followed the same format as the Nashville Statement.
Brandon KinderHOST
And I swear, I thought I read this line in the Denver Statement all those years ago, but I was looking for it and I couldn't find it anywhere, but it must have been in like a... an article I read about it or something, but there's this line that's always stuck with me ever since.
Brandon KinderHOST
That's was something like, so for 2000 years, Christians can't exactly even, um, agree on how exactly the cross saves us.
Mike FabarezHOST
kind of what we're doing today, right, in a lot of what we're doing.
Mike FabarezHOST
We've been adding things, and I don't know what the latest is, and pastors can tell you, but we go through, like, do we need to put the Chicago Statement on Errancy on our page, at least link to it? Do we need to have the Nashville Statement? Do we need to have, you know, the statement on biblical manhood? These are the kinds of things we think, okay, well, we need them because of certain pressures that we have in the church.
Mike FabarezHOST
I would much rather have some of those things As opposed to, let's go back to the Nicene Creed and post it.
Mike FabarezHOST
Yeah, that's historically rich.
Keith GilesHOST
So our next podcast episode will be total agreement.
Keith GilesHOST
Is it necessary for fellowship? And we're going to talk about the Nashville statement also.
Keith GilesHOST
And of course, specifically article 10.
Keith GilesHOST
So that'll be coming up in the next episode.
