PCUSA Updates Book of Common Worship to Have 'Inclusive Language' for Same-Sex Marriage

in christian-trail •  7 years ago  (edited)

The largest Presbyterian denomination in the US has no issues with gay marriage. The Bible states otherwise say the majority of christians.

"Presbyterian Church (USA) will soon have a new Book of Common Worship, which will include a new marriage service text that will feature "inclusive language."

"... the change came in response to the denomination's decision to amend their definition of marriage to include same-sex couples."

"The changes are in accordance with action W-4.0601 from the 221st General Assembly (2014) of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)," explained Gambrell."

"The controversial change in question altered PCUSA's definition of marriage from "one man and one woman" to "two people, traditionally a man and a woman"

"The largest Presbyterian church in the United States, PCUSA has recently enacted many pro-LGBT measures including ordination of openly gay individuals and expanding its definition of marriage."

"These measures have created backlash, as hundreds of congregations have left the declining denomination over the past several years due to theological differences."
