Why Welcome a Same-Sex Couple to Church?
Jahi Chikwendiu / The Washington Post / Getty Gary Nixon, right, and Mel White, a gay couple, attend Jerry Falwell's church in Lynchburg, VA. The couple (together for 20 years) has rented a cottage directly across the street from Falwell's church for a year, are are attending services there and getting to know the neighbors. While some people have called them sinners, others have brought over pies and cookies in welcome.
Imagine this no-longer-hypothetical situation: Matt and Alex Jones-Smith, newlyweds, arrive on a Monday morning in summertime to register their adopted daughter, Rachel, for Vacation Bible School at Maranatha Bible Church on Main Street.
What should be the response of the Sunday school superintendent?
- Provide directions to the nearest liberal congregation.
- Register Rachel for Vacation Bible School and then hand the couple Marantha Bible's statement of faith, including the part on human sexuality where homosexual behavior is condemned.
- Proceed with registration, and then ask the Jones-Smiths, legally married in the eyes of the state, to meet with the pastor to talk about baptism and membership.
- None of the above.
The Unbiblical Marriage
This week, Minnesota and Rhode Island became the 12th and 13th states to allow same-sex marriage. With the favorable U.S. Supreme Court rulings in June, there will be more same-sex marriages nationwide for years to come. The 2010 federal census estimated there are already more than 150,000 same-sex couples legally married or in legal civil unions. It reports some states experienced a 50 percent or more increase in households with same-sex couples from 2000 to 2010.
For generations, Christianity has encountered unions outside the one man-one woman Christian ideal. During the colonial missionary era in Africa, many Christian churches had zero tolerance for a new convert with multiple wives. If these men wished to be baptized, join the church, and follow Christ, they had to dismiss all but one wife.
But missionaries soon realized that this policy of zero tolerance created enormous hardship on abandoned mothers and their children. It also absolved the polygamous husband of providing for dependent children of his former wives, according to Sunday Agang, academic dean at ECWA (Evangelical Church of West Africa) Seminary, Jos, Nigeria.
Over time, indigenous churches developed more than one response. Some churches accepted the entire household of a husband who desired to become a Christian yet had more than one wife. Many churches, however, did not permit these new converts to preach or teach or lead in the church.
Yet, the goal of churches remained the same. Once a person accepted Christ, Christians invited the individual into joyful, church-based fellowship and a lifelong journey of discipleship and sanctification.
Welcoming, Not Affirming
Choice #4?none of the above?is the answer that best reflects the sense of confusion that many church leaders have regarding the most appropriate response to state-recognized same-sex couples.
But for churches committed to the biblical teaching about heterosexual marriage and compassion for all, is there a solidly biblical approach or model for churches to follow? As early as the 1990s, conservative Christian leaders began to welcome, but not affirm, the open involvement of people with same-sex attraction into church life. Along with a sincere welcome, tragically, too many times fear of disease (HIV/AIDS), public condemnation, homophobia, and pressure for behavior change through unproven and often harmful therapies overwhelmed any sense of welcome.
There is some evidence of progress. A new Pew Research Center survey found that less than 1 in 3 LGBT respondents reported feeling unwelcome in a place of worship. Even fewer reported that this unwelcome feeling occurred within the past 12 months.
Christians and the church can do much more beyond welcome. About half of LGBT adults surveyed report no religious affiliation. While the ones who did attend worship felt welcome, the Pew survey found that most LGBT respondents view major religious groups (Christians, Jews, and Muslims) as "unfriendly."

Dempsey leaves England, joins Seattle Sounders
SEATTLE (AP) ? Clint Dempsey waited on the small stage at midfield. Finally he unzipped his sweatshirt and made official a surprising career move.
Dempsey is leaving behind the Premier League to play for the Seattle Sounders.
Dempsey was introduced as the newest designated player for the Sounders on Saturday night prior to Seattle's match against FC Dallas. It concluded a whirlwind 48 hours of rumors and speculation that Dempsey was leaving Tottenham Hotspur and returning to Major League Soccer.
ESPN first reported Friday that a transfer was imminent and Tottenham confirmed Dempsey's move back to MLS early Saturday. Terms of Dempsey's deal were not announced by the club.
"This is a historic day for Sounders FC and our fans," Sounders majority owner Joe Roth said in a release. "Clint is a world-class soccer player who can take this club to a higher level. We have been consistent in our message to the fans that we will spare no expense to win trophies."
Dempsey was expected to address the reasons behind his move during a press conference scheduled for Monday.
The 30-year-old Dempsey played for the New England Revolution from 2004-06 before joining Fulham in 2007. He moved to Tottenham last summer and scored 12 goals in 43 games, but wasn't a regular.
The move is surprising as Dempsey is giving up a chance to play in one of the top leagues in the world in the prime of his career and a year before the World Cup in Brazil.
"I was a little bit surprised about it, sure. Because it is an interesting step career wise at a point in time where you would kind of maybe question that," former U.S. national team goalkeeper and current Sounders TV analyst Kasey Keller said before Saturday's announcement. "But when you look more at the details and who is involved and what we're talking about financially it all kind of comes into place."
There were signs Seattle was on the verge of making a big splash before the international transfer window closed.
The Sounders cleared one of their three designated player slots earlier this week when midfielder Shalrie Joseph restructured his contract to no longer be counted as a designated player. The team website also asked fans to arrive early to Saturday night's game against FC Dallas for what the club called a "special presentation."
At 7:26 p.m., a video chronicling Dempsey's career highlights played on the CenturyLink Field video board and moments later he revealed his new rave green jersey.
"I think we'll accomplish some great things here, so thank you," Dempsey told the roaring fans.
Dempsey raved about Seattle when the city hosted the U.S. against Panama in a World Cup qualifier in June.
"It's great to see the game is building and there are markets like this where people have so much passion for the game," he said then.
A star for the U.S. national team, Dempsey wasn't a regular in Andre Villas-Boas' starting lineup with Tottenham. Even so, his move is somewhat surprising because Tottenham could also lose forward Gareth Bale this offseason to Real Madrid.
One of the most successful Americans to play in England's top league, Dempsey was first sold from the Revolution to Fulham in 2007. Dempsey spent five years playing at Craven Cottage, where he scored 50 goals in 184 league appearances and became a fan favorite. Last year with Tottenham, Dempsey scored seven goals in 29 Premier League matches, scored three times in two FA Cup matches and had two more goals in 10 other games.
As his stock in Europe rose, so did Dempsey's role on his national team. He's played in eight games in 2013 for the United States and scored five times. His next international appearance for the Americans will be his 100th, and he's served as the U.S. captain most of this year when Landon Donovan was out.
Dempsey came to England as an attacking midfielder but has developed into a potent forward in recent seasons, starting up front for the U.S. too.
Outside of CenturyLink Field on Saturday, fans were already buzzing about Dempsey's arrival prior to the official announcement. At retailers around the stadium, custom Sounders jerseys with "Dempsey" across the back and No. 2 were being printed with regularity all afternoon in both versions of Seattle's jersey.
During the pregame march near the stadium, fans chanted "Deuce upside the head, I said Deuce upside the head," and carried head shots of Dempsey attached to sticks.
"Major League Soccer is thrilled to have Clint Dempsey, arguably one of the best players the United States has ever produced, return to the league to play for the Sounders," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said in a statement. "Clint could have played in any league throughout the world, and he chose MLS and the Sounders. Our vision is to become one of the best leagues in the world, and we look forward to Clint being a part of that legacy."

There Are So Many More Options If You Want To P*ss Off Liberals ...
By Amanda Marcotte
Friday, August 2, 2013 12:35 EDT
?
I highly recommend Alex Pareene?s dead-on description of what?s going on with Ted Cruz and the Republicans who, while also batshit themselves, at least are reality-attached enough to oppose a government shutdown as a petulant kind of revenge for Obamacare. They just want Ted Cruz to go away, but as Pareene explains, they created this problem and now they have to live with it:
To all these critics, the only reasonable response is, hope you enjoy this bed you made for yourselves. Ted Cruz is the right man for the decadent decline stage of the conservative movement, which has always encouraged the advancement of fact-challenged populist extremists, but always with the understanding that they?d a back seat to the sensible business interests when it came time to exercise power. The result has been a huge number of Republican activists who couldn?t figure out why the True Conservatives they kept voting for kept failing to achieve the creation of the perfect conservative state once in office. That led to an ongoing backlash against everyone in the party suspected of anything less than perfect ideological purity. Meanwhile all the crazies got rich simply for being crazy. There?s no longer any compelling reason, in other words, not to act like Ted Cruz, and the result is Ted Cruz.
And if Ted Cruz is reading, all of these columns are only going to strengthen his resolve. Just look at this?amazing conservative Facebook image macro shared by Gawker?s Max Read:?Cruz is in the company of batshit far-right folk heroes like Allen West and Oliver North, people revered as much because of the disdain they inspire in both liberals and professional conservatives as for their actual beliefs or accomplishments.
This is what they get for building a coalition built around the politics of resentment: Men who resent women, whites who resent black people, straights who resent queer people, etc. Bitter, resentful people whose main political goal is pissing off the liberals tend to not have very good boundaries or limits.
With that in mind and in response to this tweet, I thought it would be useful to list some things that conservative politicians can do that will definitely piss off liberals and help rally the base, long term political consequences be damned:
- Tear the still-beating heart out of a puppy on live TV and proceed to eat it.
- Go around tripping elderly women, and when they cry out, say, ?You think that hurts? Wait until I take away your Medicare!?
- Force PBS to air various ?Real Housewives? TV programs instead of ?Sesame Street?.
- Declare the President?s citizenship a fraud, and use that as a pretext to impeach him.
- Create a real-life version of the Hunger Games, and claim that the proceeds from ticket sales will be replacing the income tax as a source of government income.
- Ban oral sex. Oh wait, they?re already on that.
- And absolutely, start taking dumps in public, preferably on the floor of the House. When people start objecting, run to right wing talk radio and explain that your critics are nanny state liberals who are hiding behind the discredited germ theory to emasculate red-blooded, shit-flinging American males.
If you can redeem Ollie North, you can sell anything on the ?piss off the liberals? front. So get to work, Republicans!

Fairy tale: Court ruling awards $3.3 billion to Indian princesses
A court ruling last week put to rest a decades-old legal battle involving scheming servants, disinherited princesses, and a forged will.
The Faridkot estate is seen in New Delhi, India, Monday, July 29. A court in Punjab state recently ruled that the will of Sir Harinder Singh Brar of Faridkot leaving all his wealth to a trust set up by his palace officials was forged.

Scheming servants, disinherited princesses, forged wills ? these are standard elements of fantasy. But for the daughters of Sir Harinder Singh Brar, the last Maharajah (or king) of Faridkot, a small city in India, the elements are all part of a very real saga they have endured for more than two decades.
Last Thursday, a judge in Chandigarh, in the northwest state of Punjab, awarded Mr. Brar?s daughters the equivalent of $3.3 billion after ruling that a 31-year old last will and testament that placed his estate in the hands of his servants and lawyers was a forgery. The verdict ended the decades-long legal battle and made the sisters the 33rd richest in India, according to the Guardian.
According to the Hindu newspaper, Maharajah Brar?s servants and lawyers forged the will in 1982, while the maharajah was in the grips of depression following his only son?s death. Instead of awarding his assets to his family, the fraudulent will set up the Maharawal Khewaji?Trust to manage Mr. Brar?s estate.
The suspicion about the will arose as the Maharaja excluded his mother Mohinder Kaur and his wife Narinder Kaur while all the servants, irrespective of their designation, and lawyers were appointed trustees. Amrit had been divested of all the powers of heiress on the grounds that she had married against the wishes of the late Maharaja. Deepinder had been appointed trust chairman on paltry salary of Rs 1,200 per month while Maheepinder Kaur was given a salary of Rs 1,000 a month.
Brar had been the ruler of Faridkot until 1947, when India gained independence from Britain, reports the Times of India. After independence, he was allowed to keep his fortune and properties.
The maharajah died in 1989 and three years later his daughter Amrit Kaur filed a suit against the trust, alleging that the will had been forged. And after 21 years, a court magistrate ruled that the will was a fraud, thereby making the trust?s claim to the estate illegal.
Instead, Brar?s two daughters, Amrit Kaur and Deepinder Kaur, were awarded the remainder of the former royal?s estate, which included several properties and palaces, jewels, and even a private aerodrome, reports the Daily Telegraph. A third daughter, Maheepinder Kaur, died in 2001.
However, according to the Times of India, the Maharawal Khewaji Trust is planning on challenging the ruling to an upper court, with Ranjit Singh, the trust?s legal counsel claiming that ?The will was real and it was not forged.?

Monster galaxies lose their appetite with age
[unable to retrieve full-text content]Our universe is filled with gobs of galaxies, bound together by gravity into larger families called clusters. Lying at the heart of most clusters is a monster galaxy thought to grow in size by merging with neighboring galaxies, a process astronomers call galactic cannibalism. New research from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) is showing that, contrary to previous theories, these gargantuan galaxies appear to slow their growth over time, feeding less and less off neighboring galaxies.

GOP prepares bill to cut food stamps by 5 percent
House Republicans are preparing legislation that would cut food stamps by as much as $4 billion annually in an effort to downsize a program that many conservatives say has become too bloated in recent years.
A group of Republicans led by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., has agreed to try to advance the legislation as early as next month. The measure would reduce the $80 billion-a-year food stamp program by as much as 5 percent. House conservatives have urged major cuts as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, has doubled in cost since 2008.
The bill is certain to face strong opposition from the Democratic Senate and President Barack Obama, who have opposed major cuts to the program. They say cuts could drop millions of Americans off the rolls when they are already struggling from the Great Recession.
Reps. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana and Kristi Noem of South Dakota, two Republicans who helped design the bill, said the legislation would find the savings by tightening eligibility standards and imposing new work requirements. It would also likely try to reduce the rolls by requiring drug testing and barring convicted murderers, rapists and pedophiles from receiving food stamps.
Many provisions in the proposed bill were included in farm legislation defeated on the House floor in June, though several were added by amendment. The original farm bill passed by the House Agriculture Committee would have cut food stamps by about $2 billion a year, but conservatives revolted against the bill even after adding additional savings through amendments, saying the cuts weren't high enough.
After the farm bill defeat, Republican leaders split the legislation in two and passed a bill in July that included only farm programs. They promised a food stamp bill to come later, with deeper cuts.
A spokesman for Cantor said the proposed bill will "build on those reforms already considered by the House."
"That will include common-sense measures, such as work requirements and job training requirements for able-bodied adults without children receiving assistance, that enjoy a broad range of support," said Doug Heye.
Much of the estimated savings could come from requiring such adults to seek work, a provision that wasn't in the original bill. The law already requires that they eventually work or receive work training to receive SNAP, but the 2009 stimulus law and waivers issued by the Agriculture Department since then have allowed states to set aside those work requirements.
The proposed bill hasn't been released and its exact cost isn't yet known, but the Republicans are estimating the cuts would be around $4 billion annually.
A farm bill passed by the Senate in June keeps the food and farm programs together and cuts food stamps by about $400 million a year, or about half a percent. Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., on Thursday accused House leaders of trying to block the farm bill by proposing something that the Senate would never accept.
"It's wasted time and effort, it's not going anywhere," she said. "It's not going to become law."
Current farm law expires at the end of September, and it's unlikely that both sides will agree on a final farm bill before then, even if the House is able to pass a food stamp bill. Food stamp dollars will continue to flow after the law expires but some farm programs would be in danger. Without an extension or a change in policy, for example, dairy subsidies would revert to decades-old law and cause milk prices to potentially double.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he won't allow another extension after the law was continued once early this year to avert the dairy crisis. Stabenow said an extension would be difficult anyway because many members don't want to continue certain farm subsidies that would be eliminated under the House and Senate farm bills.
"This is a ticking time bomb here, waiting to go off," she said. "It makes no sense."
Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the top Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, said the proposed food stamp bill "effectively kills any hopes of passing a five-year farm bill this year."
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., hinted Thursday that the differences are so "huge and dramatic" between the Senate bill and what the House is proposing, that the White House may need to get involved, something the Obama administration has so far declined to do. The White House supported the Senate bill but had threatened a veto of the House bill.
"This may be one of those issues that may need some guidance from on high," Lucas said.
First, though, Republicans have to get the votes to pass the food stamp bill in the House. That could be difficult as Democrats are likely to be united in opposition and some moderate Republicans may not go along.
Stutzman said he thinks the issue will play well with their constituents when members return to their districts in August. The Republicans say they are trying to focus on the policies, not the number of dollars that would be cut.
"Most people will agree that if you are an able bodied adult without any kids you should find your way off food stamps," Stutzman said, referring to the proposed work requirements. "I don't think we will find much disagreement on this."
Noem agreed, saying that talking about policies and not just dollars "shows that you really care about adding integrity into the program."
Still, she said, making cuts to the program is a "huge culture change" not only for Democrats but also for some Republicans who have a lot of food stamp recipients in their districts.
"That's all a big pill to swallow for some of them," she said.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) And Samsung Dominate Value Share: Canaccord
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) remained the most profitable company in the smartphone market compared with its competitors in terms of profit value share, according to investment research firm, Cannacord Genuity.
Apple (AAPL) Value shares down in second quarter
Based on the latest data released by Cannacord Genuity senior analyst, Michael Walkley,?Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) value share in smartphone profits during the second quarter was 53% down from 57% in the first quarter. Its value share is even significantly lower than its 69% value share in 2012.
For the June quarter,?Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported that it sold 31.2 million iPhones compared with 26 million units sold a year ago.
Despite the decline in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)?s share in smartphone profits, it is interesting to note that the iPhone maker remains more profitable than its strongest rival,?Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) with 50% value share in the second quarter.
Samsung?s market share grow every year
It is also important to note that the South Korean electronics manufacturer?s value share in the smartphone market continues to grow every year. In 2011, its value share was 17% and the following year its share jump substantially to 34%. In the first quarter of 2013, its value share increased by 11% to 43%. The figures clearly shows that?Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) is taking a bite out of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) as well as other competitors in the market.
During the second quarter, Walkley estimated that Samsung shipped approximately 72.5 million smartphones, up from 69.7 million units shipped in the previous quarter. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930)?s IT Mobile Communications unit posted?KRW 35.54 trillion sales.
Walkley?s research showed that the smartphone market is 100% dominated by?Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung because the profit value share of other manufacturers in the industry have were, break-even, zero or negative.
Other companies negative in value shares
Data showed that the smartphone profit value shares of Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) (BIT:NOK1V) (HEL:NOK1V), LG Electronics Inc. (KRX:066570) (KRX:066575), and Sony Ericsson recorded 0% profit value shares.?BlackBerry Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) and?Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc (NYSE:MMI) posted negative value shares.
In terms of smartphone operating system unit share, Cannacord Genuity revealed that the Android operating system of Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) is the market leader with 74.6%. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)?s iOS operating system has only 13.5% market share while Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)?s Windows Phone has 5.1% market share and the BlackBerry 10 operating system has 2.9% market share.
Walkley estimated that Android OS will gain another 2.5% in the next quarter to 77.1%. The iOS and the Windows Phone will decline by 2% and 0.3%, respectively to 11.5% and 4.8%.
According to Walkley, the major smartphone suppliers will profit from LTE smartphone sales growth in Western markets and global upgrades from feature phones to 3G smartphones. The analyst believe that the sales of smartphone globally is better than feared by investors. Walkley said, ?In fact, we believed depressed valuations reflect an overly pessimistic view of the global smartphone market.?
