The American church is at a crossroads, caught between a permissive contemporary culture and extreme fundamentalist Christianity in regards to human sexuality. Specifically, homosexuality has been at the forefront of political and social debate. The debate covers a variety of issues involving the compatibility of those who proclaim to be homosexual or have same-sex attraction and their inclusion within the Christian church community. The debate stirs up controversy within the local church, related to the acceptance of homosexuals or those with same-sex attraction who are not walking in freedom but struggling to work towards that goal. The process of transformation takes a lifetime. This debate highlights the very foundations of the Christian faith, has polarized the church, and cannot be ignored. Stanton Jones and Mark Yarhouse highlight that the Christian sexual ethic focuses on a committed heterosexual relationship between a man and a woman or chastity for those who are single. Where does this leave those leaving a homosexual lifestyle who desire to serve God and become a part of a loving Christian community but who have not yet embraced chastity? How does a local church respond to those who have experienced the sexual brokenness of a homosexual nature?
