The Reformed Church in America, the once conservative but now very liberal denomination in which Robert Schuller holds membership, is sticking with its "full communion" relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Pastor Kevin DeYoung of University Reformed Church in East Lansing, Mich., stated in his blog that the Gospel is at stake if the RCA remains in full communion with the ELCA.
Calling ELCA's action egregious, DeYoung urged his denomination to break its relationship with the Lutherans.
"What do we do when a denomination perverts the grace of our God into sensuality (Jude 4) – and not just a few renegade churches here and there, but the whole denomination in its official decision making capacity?" DeYoung posed. "Homosexuality is, as J.I. Packer has argued, a heretical issue because it denies a central tenet of the gospel – repentance."
