As summer approaches, many of us will receive wedding invitations.

We may be clear that Biblical marriage is between one man and woman, and that sexual intimacy is only appropriate within that context. But how do we respond when a friend or a family member invites us to their gay or transgender wedding? Do we prioritise friendly relationships and accept, or decide on principle that we cannot go?

This issue has caused huge controversy recently, some of it unfortunate in tone, among Christians on both sides of the Atlantic. We need to step away from the debate around personalities, and go back to Biblical principles.
