Germany: Gay partnerships resisted

FeG churches are adhering to Biblical teaching on issues of marriage and sexuality

Evangelicals in Germany are standing firm on the issue of homosexual partnerships – declaring that they ‘do not find approval from a Biblical perspective.’

At its National Board, Union of Free Evangelical Churches (FeG) President Ansgar Hörsting called for members to seek unity as recommendations regarding the question of homosexuality were set out for member churches. He told the 400 delegates in attendance that ‘the relationship with God in Jesus is a firm foundation, and the Holy Spirit works and gives people orientation and support.’

The recommendations laid out that, while God’s grace is open to all, the Bible does not approve of homosexual relationships. Churches were advised not to bless gay weddings or appoint practicing homosexuals as leaders or pastors.
