The Reformed Church in America:
Can It Stay Reformed? (Part I of II)
The most visible sign of the RCA’s struggle is the rise of a “gay-affirming” movement among some of the clergy. They press for full “inclusion” of homosexuals into the life of the church — including same-sex “marriage” and the ordination of practicing, unrepentant homosexuals as ministers of the gospel.
The RCA’s official position conforms to the teaching of the Bible: marriage is for one man and one woman, and homosexual activity is a sin.The New York-New Jersey area is the birthplace of Room for All (www.roomforall.com), a new group of RCA clergy and laymen who are trying to change their church’s position on homosexuality. Its board of directors includes Norman Kansfield and his family.
Kansfield was removed by the RCA last year from his post as president of the New Brunswick Theological Seminary, for performing a “marriage” between his daughter and another woman. Although Kansfield has promised the RCA not to make public comments on this issue until after the General Synod has further adjudicated his case, his presence on the board of Room for All constitutes a statement in itself.
