I am interested in hearing Kathy Smith on the contents of the letter from Neland Ave CRC. Does she repudiate their understanding of what she taught them? If she does not, does she still hold that 1973 was not binding and obligatory?
💯 this is a great read. Explains as a denominaton, we've always stood on the authority of God's word. And if we continue to do so, how can we go wrong. May God be glorified.
As an interested outside observer, this is the first time I have heard the 1973 report described with such clarity. It is my understanding that the phrase "homosexual members" or words to that effect are also found in the report. Clearly, these words refer to the orientation/temptation to this sin. In what section of the report is this phrase found? It dishonours Christ and does great harm for any sin to be linked to a Christian, whether in orientation, or desire.
If Kathy Smith is the originator of the pastoral advice lie - how can she still hold a position of authority in the CRC? There needs to be a wrestling with how she and others in authority led us to this point.
This explanation is as clear and concise as you can get. Kudos.

A creative telling of our history, Aaron; but disputable.
