Major Evangelical Charity to Hire Married Gay Christians
NBC News
The prominent Christian relief agency World Vision said Monday it will hire Christians who are in same-sex marriages, a dramatic policy change on one of the most divisive social issues facing religious groups.
Richard Stearns, president of the international humanitarian relief group, announced the hiring change for the United States in a letter to staff. Stearns said the World Vision board had prayed for years about how to handle the issue as Christian denominations took different stands on recognizing same-sex relationships.
"The board and I wanted to prevent this divisive issue from tearing World Vision apart and potentially crippling our ability to accomplish our vital kingdom mission of living and serving the poorest of the poor in the name of Christ," Stearns wrote in the letter.
The agency's new hiring policy was first reported by Christianity Today magazine.

World Vision to hire married gay Christians
What is this country coming to when people are treated equally as if the are not being judge? What does it mean when a Christian group spreads acceptance instead of judgment? Oh my! How would Christ feel about people taking care of others in need? Considering what I read in the Bible, He would approve of this even though He may not approve of their life style but the again, since He never said anything about them, pretty much leaves that part out of the debate.
