Approved by its leadership, the Norwegian Methodist Church recently published a statement apologizing for the denomination’s “attitudes and actions” that may have hurt the LGBT community.
“The Methodist Church in Norway admits and apologizes for the condemning attitudes and actions that have inflicted insults, harm and suffering on LGBT+ people instead of dignity,” says the denomination on its website, according to Evangelical Focus.
“This is contrary to the gospel of God’s unconditional grace and love. Every human being is created in the image of God and loved by God.”
Speaking to Methodist Church’s magazine Brobyggeren, the head of the denomination’s board, Audun Westad, sought to explain: “We have not been able to offer the security people should be able to expect. Therefore, it is necessary that we as a church just take a stand on this and sincerely apologize and forgive.”
