To everyone who has been following the seriously lengthy recent discussions on this blog around the issue of homosexuality, this may or may not be good news...
On the advice of some friends who I have specifically asked to hold me accountable in a number of areas, I am going to take a break from the issue. My original article (available in the archives) has caused quite a storm in South Africa - I think that needs some time to take its course. I have also fallen into one of the traps I am most scared of - being confrontational and ungracious in my interactions.
The approach given to us Protestants from the very beginning - modelled with such vigour by Luther, Calvin and others - is of heated, unhealthy, confrontational debate. This is not only unedifying, it also gets us nowhere. I fear that with all the best intentions in the world, I may have fallen into this style in recent days.
So, to give myself to study the excellent interactions and issues raised, and to allow myself some space to breath and reflect and approach this issue in a teachable and loving (and loveable) way, I am taking a break. I suppose that's one of the privileges and the downsides of debate by blog...
