Should Christians attend a same-sex wedding?

Rev Alistair Begg has come under criticism for advising a member of his congregation to attend their grandchild’s wedding to a transgender person. It’s a very complex issue, says John Stevens, but not one we should divide over

I have never attended, or even been invited to a same-sex wedding. If I were, I would feel very conflicted, especially if it were of a close family member. Would I go?

This is a reality facing an increasing number of Christians who are committed to biblical orthodoxy and firmly believe that marriage can only be between one man and one woman.

Alistair Begg, a Scottish pastor ministering in America, recently caused controversy over pastoral advice given to a grandmother invited to attend her grandchild’s transgender wedding. He said it was matter of wisdom. Many have criticised him, and he has been cancelled from some ministry opportunities.
