Preston Sprinkle, an original advisory board member of Revoice, a movement within Evangelical churches promoting acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community, has played a crucial role in shifting church doctrine on sexuality. Through his strong relationships with influential Evangelical leaders like James Merritt, Matt Chandler and Beth Moore, Sprinkle has popularized lenient views long rejected by staunch evangelicals.

Sprinkle’s controversial teachings suggest that homosexuals can manage their sexual desires through nonsexual expressions or covenant same-sex relationships that parallel marriage arrangements but avoid physical intercourse. He also posits that individuals can live as transgender without engaging in same-sex activities.

Moreover, Sprinkle is set to host a webinar on “Christian Sexuality,” aiming to make a case for increasing the representation of homosexuals and transgenders in church leadership. This stance takes controversy to the next level. The comparison may be drawn to other circumstances – would we argue for including individuals guilty of theft or greed in religious leadership? Would we campaign for drunkards to be embraced as congregational heads?

Art Pereira will be one of speakers at this seminar, promoting queer leadership within the Church. Pereira previously discussed his dwelling arrangement with another man to whom he was attracted, labeling their relationship as “celibate” despite its marriage-like constitution.

This article is not intended as an attack on Preston Sprinkle’s personal belief system. The fundamental question is whether these beliefs correlate with Christian orthodoxy and reflect the Christian worldview held sacred by countless believers worldwide.

Our aim is to share real news that reflects these worldwide struggles within Christianity.
