[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused by Brandon saying that their changed view on LGBTQ was “leaked” 6 months before they were ready. That’s not how Jen describes it here when discussing it with the very journalist who broke the news in an interview in October 2016: https://jenhatmaker.com/podcast/series-41/growing-up-evangelical-and-gay-with-jonathan-merritt/ [/quote]

This is not how it happened.  Brandon says that the ANC elders were in deep lengthy prayerful consideration of becoming an affirming church?  Some were.  Not all, though.  Jen’s interview and Brandon’s panicked FB statement a few days later was huge shocking news to several people in leadership, including one beloved elder who soon after passed away from cancer.

Jen just basically made a decision to come out publicly with Jonathan Merritt online and THEN there was a mad crazed dash by Brandon and the affirming side to make it “official”.  People were super confused and hurt.  The speakers that Brandon came in to explain the new position were all from one side of the debate.  Super biased.  About 2/3 of members left.

The whole though was a total %#{ show regardless of ones own personal position.[/quote]
