What does the future hold for the church in regards to its teaching on marriage? Significant changes have occurred just the last decade; for example, traditional marriage is no longer prescribed for individuals with same-sex attraction. Any additional changes will be up to the Brethren. In the meantime, what is my responsibility as a Christian? The first few verses of Matthew 7 are applicable here. A wise church leader once taught me that he will be OK with hearing the Savior say at the judgment bar, "you were a little too compassionate and generous."
