"I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man. I think the ship has sailed and I think that the church needs to just … this is the world that we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are," Rob Bell
Are we seeing another surge in the Liberalism movement? During the Liberal Christian movement, we saw an incorporation of science (modern culture) into faith. Here we see gay marriage trying to be incorporated into faith. What's interesting is that Rob Bell implies that this is what the world is coming to and we need to come to terms with it. However, from the Next Christendom article that we read, we're actually seeing the world becoming more conservative. North America and Western Christianity is pushing for more of a liberal Christianity. Actually, the ship hasn't sailed yet, if anything it's still in the North American docks.
