Thank you for a gracious, thoughtful reminder that we need to approach complex topics with humility and love. The witness of the church is compromised when we allow our individual certainty to keep us from acting with the mindset of Christ, and I think this post models that mindset beautifully.
I am heartbroken to see the idea repeated in this thread that someone holding a different perspective on the HSR can "go find another denomination." There are people with different interpretations of the relevant scripture who love their congregations, who serve as elders or deacons, who pour into their church communities as Gems leaders and catechism teachers and worship leaders. Why should one side or the other be forced to leave?
