Coming to a "conservative" church near you.
A thread.
nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-ne…
Many conservative churches follow the lead of society by 10 years or so. It's a subtle form of worldly conformity.
They already have gay pastors and gay conferences, just like the mainline churches of 10-20 years ago.
As society ratchets up the gay pressure, more churches will try to assuage the powers-that-be.
Again, conservative churches are already allowing the celibate gay lobby to talk about transgender...
...such as Sam Allberry. In 2019, he gave a (somewhat helpful) lecture on transgender. But dropped this bombshell:
He also made other points that pave the way for transgendered pastors.
"None of us, not a single one of us, is qualified to determine our own [sexual] identity. And whatever identity we come up for ourselves will not be a good fit."
Christianity Today published an essay the grooms the church for tranny pastors.
Of course, it was written by the founder of Revoice.

TGC opens the door to more transgendered in the church as well.
(In the name of "love," of course)

Transgenderism at the Evangelical Theological Society--it's true.

Spurious reasoning cannot compare to the power of stories to change churches.
"..evangelicals, led by a few brave congregations, are bound to change their views on gay and transgender people sooner rather than later...the power of narrative, of story..."
