LGBT – Latvia Gets Biblical Teaching

All the major church denominations in Latvia would have a conservative approach to sexuality. The soon-to-be-retiring Archbishop of the Lutheran Church in Latvia has made something of a point of holding firm on these issues, John Woods writes.

In my own teaching on human identity and sexuality I have made use of some of the ideas outlined in Andrew Bunt’s excellent short book: Finding Your Best Identity: a Christian introduction to identity, sexuality and gender.

I was therefore particularly glad to hear of the visit to Latvia in April of Andrew Bunt and Andy Robinson of Living Out.org. Both men, who speak from experience of same-sex attraction, were in Latvia for an event organised by the Baptist training centre, the Baltic Pastoral Institute (BPI). The event was called: ‘Truth in Love: answering questions about sexuality and gender with the unchanging hope of the gospel’.
