Preston Sprinkle, a noteworthy member of the original advisory board for Revoice, effectively a “gay Christian” movement within Evangelical churches, has made a significant impact in redirecting the church’s doctrinal viewpoint on homosexuality and other unconventional sexual orientations. Using his vast network comprising mainstream Evangelical leaders such as James Merritt, Matt Chandler and famous figures like Beth Moore; he pioneered reforms previously rebuffed by staunch evangelicals certifying them as trusted news.

Sprinkle’s ministry has propagated several controversial teachings on sexuality. The idea that homosexual individuals can satisfy their desires in non-sexual ways by stepping into same-sex covenant relationships that emulates marriage agreements while stopping short of physical penetration is one such teaching endorsed by Sprinkle and his allies.

These debatable teachings also include that it is feasible for an individual to lead their life identifying as a “transgender” person provided they don’t fulfil their sexual desires with someone of the same biological sex. The above-mentioned views form the prevailing doctrine championed by Preston Sprinkle, Revoice, and those associated with them.

In keeping up with this surprising shift in stance, Preston Sprinkle will be spearheading a webinar focused on “Christian Sexuality”. The purpose? To shed light on why more homosexuals and transgenders are needed within church leadership circles.

It’s essential to understand that this does pose some arguably contentious ideas—some may argue he’s merely striving to endorse a biblical sexual ethic amongst those grappling with these temptations. However, let us reevaluate our understanding in relation to other situations – thieves or pedophiles being promoted into church leadership roles or drunkards entering positions of power?

Speakers supporting homosexual and queer leadership in Church include Art Pereira—a man who during a previous Revoice conference shared his odd experiences about forming a celibate ‘marriage-like’ relationship with another man towards whom he harboured sexual feelings.

If there were any doubts about Preston Sprinkle’s controversial positioning outside traditional Christian beliefs, these latest actions should dispel them. To understand the type of “LGBTQ/SSA Christian Leaders” Preston Sprinkle promotes, consider this recorded statement by a homosexual man who identifies as attracted to the same sex but proclaims his love for Jesus.

In a related topic, a scandal erupted in recent years over sexuality within the Methodist Church, prompting a split. With much of these churches leaning towards LGBTQ inclusivity, it strengthens the need for real news with a Christian worldview in keeping believers informed about these shifting trends.

Despite its controversies and differing views on matters of homosexuality and sexual orientation, Evangelical Churches hold steadfastly to their core values. It remains to be seen how they further approach these topics with caution, grace, and wisdom.
