ACNA: Adjective gay modifying Christian is “problematic”

The College of Bishops of the Anglican Church of North America has issued a recommendation that the terminology “gay Christian” be avoided and in its place be used “Christians who experience same-sex attraction”. ACNA is a group of conservative Christians comprised primarily of former clergy and lay persons who brokeaway from The Episcopal Church over the issue of homosexuality. ACNA is not recognized by the Anglican Communion.

The recommendation came about as the result of “reports of varied application among ACNA leaders regarding the use of language about sexual identity, especially within provincial events”.
