Yhdysvalloissa tunnettu "puhtauskristitty" Josh Harris on ilmoittanut
että sekä hänen kristinuskonsa että avioliittonsa ovat loppu. Samalla
hän pyysi anteeksi LGBT+ -ihmisiltä anteeksi heidän morkkaamistaan ja
tasa-arvoisen avioliiton vastustamistaan.
Martin Luther said that the entire life of believers should be
repentance. There’s beauty in that sentiment regardless of
your view of God. I have lived in repentance for the past
several years — repenting of my self-righteousness, my
fear-based approach to life, the teaching of my books, my
views of women in the church, and my approach to parenting to
name a few. But I specifically want to add to this list now:
to the LGBTQ+ community, I want to say that I am sorry for the
views that I taught in my books and as a pastor regarding
sexuality. I regret standing against marriage equality, for
not affirming you and your place in the church, and for any
ways that my writing and speaking contributed to a culture of
exclusion and bigotry. I hope you can forgive me.
