View / Download 1.3 Mb Copyright by Amanda L. Olson 2019 Abstract The Evangelical Covenant Church, like so many Christian denominations, is embroiled in conflict over homosexuality and gay marriage. This small North American denomination cannot afford a split, not only due to its small size, but because doing so would fundamentally deny its very identity. Thankfully, it is the denomination’s shared identity that gives the church, and sexual minorities, hope for the future. The ECC is a gathering of churches that covenant together for the sake of God’s mission in the world. It’s pietistic history and ethos values relational unity over doctrinal uniformity, making gracious space for theological diversity for the purpose of that mission. It’s affirmations and distinctives provide a strong DNA for the church to flourish in the midst of a rapidly changing culture. Homosexuality and gay marriage are complex problems in the church. They challenge fundamental beliefs, values and identities, and they are inherently personal and emotional topics. In order to address this challenge, church leaders must learn new ways of leading. This paper proposes that an adaptive leadership framework provides the tools necessary for the Evangelical Covenant Church to faithfully and fully take on the challenge without compromising its commitment to Christ and the authority of the Bible. It offers practical resources to assist local congregations in discussing the topic. And, it suggests ways that denominational leadership can support the work of the local congregation. For the children of Grace Evangelical Covenant Church, Chicago, especially Ben. That you may find the Covenant a place of vibrant faith. I did.

A Puritan is a blue­ nose who is against smoking, gambling, drinking, and sex. The revolution in sexual morality today is partly a reaction against Puritan sexual mores. These statements reflect an attitude toward a movement that has been assigned the posture of being sexually strict and repressive.

  • A Plea for Human Ecology: on the Prophetic Value of Humanae Vitae for Today
    1 A Plea for Human Ecology: on the Prophetic Value of Humanae Vitae for today Michele M. Schumacher, S.T.D., habil. University of Fribourg, Switzerland “The only way to discuss the social evil is to get at once to the social ideal,” writes G. K. Chesterton in his insightful book, What’s Wrong with the World. “[A]nd the upshot of the title can be easily and clearly stated,” the famous English author continues. “What is wrong is that we do not ask what is right.”1 Missing in England in 1910—and the lack has arguably only aggravated throughout much of the western world in the interim—was, in other words, the notion of timeless anthropological, and thus also moral, norms governing the human species. In fact, today, as differing from Chesterton’s time,2 it is considered “normal” to accord to individual consciences “the prerogative of independently determining the criteria of good and evil and then acting accordingly,”3 Pope John Paul II observed some twenty years ago. “Indeed, when all is said and done man would not even have a nature; he would be his own personal life project. Man would be nothing more than his own freedom!”4 Such, more specifically—as I have extensively exposited elsewhere5—is what the saintly pope presented as “a freedom which is self-designing,”6 or “self-defining,” a “phenomenon creative of itself and its values,”7 an autonomous power “whose only reference point” is, as Ratzinger observed during the same period, what the individual conceives as “his own [subjective] good.”8 As differing from what the Belgian theologian Servais Pinckaers calls “freedom for excellence”—that is to say, freedom “rooted in the soul’s spontaneous inclinations to the true and the good”9—this fundamentally subjective conception of freedom is, Ratzinger continues, “no longer seen positively as a striving for the good, which reason uncovers with help from the community and tradition.” Instead, it is “defined […] as an emancipation from all conditions that prevent each one from following his own reason;”10 1 G.
