Philip Yancey - Amazing Grace?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yancey on contemplative prayer, quoting Meister Eckhart: "The quieter the mind," wrote Meister Eckhart, "the more powerful, the worthier, the deeper, the more telling and more perfect the prayer is." (For God's Sake, Christianity Today)
Yancey: On Homosexuality
Philip Yancey said he was surprised at what he had gotten away with in the evangelical church. Aside from interviewing with pro-gay "Christian" leaders, what else is he getting away with these days?
* Philip Yancey to speak at the pro-homosexual American Baptist convention in 2005.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...this serious flaw of not basing his concepts squarely upon the Scriptures eventually leads Yancey astray."
—Pastor Gary Gilley, Southern View Chapel
Just what kind of grace does Philip Yancey preach?
Amazed by Grace: An Interview with author Philip Yancey
with Gay online magazine editor,
Candace Chellew Hodge: http://www.whosoever.org/v8i6/yancey.shtml
Excerpts from this interview:
"I've met wonderful, committed Christians who attend MCC (Metropolitan Community Churches - a denomination that affirms the homosexual lifestyle) churches, and I wish that the larger church had the benefit of their faith. And at the same time, I think it's unhealthy to have an entire denomination formed around this one particular issue--those people need exposure to and inclusion in the wider Body of Christ."Philip Yancey 2004
"When it gets to particular matters of policy, like ordaining gay and lesbian ministers, I'm confused ...." P.Y. 2004
"Obviously, if a church is saying you need to give up sexual orientation, that church needs some education." P.Y. 2004
