Leader's Insight: No Cowardly Flip-Flop is an article in Leadership Journal by Brian McLaren on how to be pastoral in answering questions about homosexuality. I suspect there is something in this article that will push buttons from all sides of this issue. *grin*
I hesitate in answering "the homosexual question" not because I'm a cowardly flip-flopper who wants to tickle ears, but because I am a pastor, and pastors have learned from Jesus that there is more to answering a question than being right or even honest: we must also be … pastoral. That means understanding the question beneath the question, the need or fear or hope or assumption that motivates the question.
