![]() ![]() Much has been said about the Church dying in American. Why? So that the Church can be the Church! I agree with Gushee that the Church needs to change its mind. Gushee claims that he titled the book, Changing Our Mind, “because I believe the question that matters is whether the collective mind of the Church universal can and ought to change.” ![]() Gushee’s call is bigger than changing our individual minds. And, of course, Gushee means more than the Catholic Church. Gushee challenges the Church (yes, capital C) to repent and change its mind to fully accept the LGBTQ community. That’s what David Gushee has done in his latest book, Changing Our Mind: A Call From America’s Leading Evangelical Ethics Scholar for Full Acceptance of LGBTQ Christians in the Church. But as opposed to emphasizing how horrible we sinners are, the word simply means “ Change your mind.” So, what happened when the leading American Evangelical ethicist repents? He asked the whole Church to change its mind, too. David Gushee, author of “Changing Our Mind”ĭo shivers run down your spine when you hear that word? Well, there’s no getting around it – repent is an important biblical word. ![]()
