Pastor Confronted Over Controversial LGBT ‘Revoice’ Conference
The upcoming “Revoice Conference” raised eyebrows when it declared that its sole aim was to “gather together with other gender & sexual minorities’ to ‘experience a new kind of gospel community.'” The conference, which will be hosted by Memorial Presbyterian Church in St. Louis, Missouri, is due to take place at the end of this month and features a whole host of “LGBTQ-affirming” ministry leaders.
In a Sunday interview on Faithwire’s “Crosspolitic” show, the hosts interviewed a pastor who is at the center of the controversial conference—Greg Johnson. Greg is the lead pastor at Memorial and will play an integral part in hosting the event. The Crosspolitic hosts, Pastor Toby Sumpter, David “Chocolate Knox” Shannon and Gabriel Wrench took issue with the mission statement posted on the conference website which defined its sole aim as: “Supporting, encouraging and empowering gay, lesbian, same-sex-attracted and other LGBT Christians so they can flourish while observing the historic, Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.”
In a wide-ranging discussion about sin, sex and the theology that governs it, the hosts challenged Johnson on his glaring inconsistencies as he attempted to reason away his unfettered support for embracing a homosexual identity. {eoa}
