Controversial Pro-’Gay’ Evangelical Andrew Marin to Speak at Park Community Church in Chicago

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙

Americans for Truth About Homosexualty reports on another example of compromise and liberal thought infiltrating the visible church:

Andrew Marin, the controversial founder and president of the Marin Foundation, is speaking next week at Park Community Church in Chicago. This is surprising in that from its website Park Community appears to be a theologically orthodox church.

Marin promotes himself as a bridge-builder between the Christian community and the homosexual community and has written a book on the subject titled Love is an Orientation. It is not Marin’s desire to reach the unsaved that is troubling. We should all seek to bring the good news of Christ’s redemptive work to those who identify as homosexual. Rather, it is his approach and his theology that generate controversy and trouble many Christians.
