Tony Campolo: Author and speaker on political and religious topics (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Responses to Steve Chalke 's comments in support of homosexuality have ranged from disappointment and sadness, to strong criticism. Chalke shocked the evangelical community on Tuesday with an article in Christianity magazine explaining his decision to support same-sex relationships. The leading evangelical figure explained that he now believes permanent, faithful, stable homosexual relationships are not sinful. In his article, he also criticised the attitude of the church towards gay people and called for greater inclusion. “Rather than condemn and exclude, can we dare to create an environment for homosexual people where issues of self-esteem and wellbeing can be talked about; where the virtues of loyalty, respect, interdependence and faithfulness can be nurtured, and where exclusive and permanent same-sex relationships can be supported?” he wrote.  This man has a social gospel no

VANCOUVER, June 10, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) and the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) have  issued a warning  that syphilis infections in homosexual and bisexual men have soared to their highest levels in more than 30 years in the Vancouver area.  According to the warning, 2012 saw 371 new cases of syphilis reported in British Columbia. Eighty percent of those cases were diagnosed in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, which stretches from Metro Vancouver northward along the coast to Bella Coola , and were confined almost entirely to the male homosexual community. According to VCH's syphilis infection records, the disease was almost non-existent in the early 1990s, with only 3 infections, mostly associated with female prostitutes, reported in 1993. By 1997 the number of cases rose to 22, and then exploded as the disease shifted to the male homosexual community in the early 2000s. According to the  Public Health A

WESTMINSTER, May 23, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – “Saddening and damaging to the reputation of Parliament,” was what the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children called the 366 to 161 House of Commons vote on the government’s “gay marriage” bill last night. SPUC director John Smeaton added, “This result was no surprize as the bill has the support of all three main parties in the House of Commons. It is good to note that substantial opposition to it has been maintained.” SPUC is asking concerned voters to contact their MPs either to thank them for opposing the plan or to “point out that the bill negates the main reason for having laws in support marriage – for the benefit and welfare of children.” “It was a vote of ‘no confidence’ by MPs in real marriage – the foundation for stable family life and the safe, happy upbringing of children,” Smeaton added. The Coalition for Marriage, consisting of the Christian Institute, Care, Christian Concern for Our Nation , the Evan

That moment appears to be now. A conservative coalition to stop the legalization of gay "marriage" was launched this morning. The presentation of Stonewall’s legislation comes weeks before David Cameron ’s coalition government is set to
