Christian Reformed Church takes up gay issues

HOLLAND, Mich. - The Christian Reformed Church in America takes up gay issues and an apartheid-era anti-racism statement at a general meeting this week in Holland.

The 166,000-member church opens its General Synod on Thursday.

The agenda includes adoption of a document known as the Belhar Confession. It was drafted in 1982 during the struggle against the white supremacist system of apartheid in South Africa.

The church’s Web site says the statement was an “outcry of faith” and “call for faithfulness and repentance.” See Christian Reformed Church takes up gay issues Chicago Tribune - * Tags = gay men gay news lesbian news transgender bisexual
