Clampdown
Bishop Duncan Gray hands over the keys in the homosexuality debate to Integrity's national leadership
By Greg Griffith

The clergy of the Diocese of Mississippi recently received the results of a survey conducted by the Committee on Ministry to Lesbian and Gay Persons.
The entire report can be viewed here. Everyone is encouraged to read the entire document. It is a startling look into the agenda, presumptions, and strategy of homosexuality advocates in the Diocese of Mississippi, and the degree to which Bishop Duncan Gray endorses their cause.

It cannot be stressed strongly enough that Stand Firm has never wavered in its position that homosexuals should be warmly welcomed in to the Episcopal Church. The same welcome we extend to our homosexual brothers and sisters is the same welcome we extend to all of our brothers and sister in Christ who have sinned and seek salvation through God's grace.

The proper role of any ministry specifically concerned with gay and lesbian persons is to deliver them from the sin of homosexual behavior, through prayer, worship, counseling, Bible study, and fellowship, but mainly through a witness to the transforming power of Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice. Any ministry that seeks to affirm homosexual behavior is contrary to the univocal prohibition of homosexual behavior in the Bible, and two millennia of Christian teaching on sexual morality.
