http://exodusinternational.org/2013/06/i-am-sorry/ 走出埃及主席Alan Chambers的道歉信 是的，走出埃及终於要关门大吉了 这是值得纪念的事件 我想教会界或早或晚终究是要要步向接纳同志的道路 虽然在这里定会有人要跳脚抗议上面这句话 但我个人认为任何种族、性别与性向的平权 在世界上的各个角落都是股深厚而无可抵御的潮流 we cannot go against this trend if we really want to spread the Gospel 以下节录Chambers道歉信的内容 有人想看中文翻译吗 如果有我再找时间翻 My desire is to completely align with Christ, his Good News for all and his offer of peace amidst the storms of life. My wife Leslie and my beliefs center around grace, the finished work of Christ on the cross and his offer of eternal relationship to any and all that believe. Our beliefs do not center on “sin” because “sin” isn’t at the center of our faith. Our journey hasn’t been about denying the power of Christ to do anything – obviously he is God and can do anything. 重点: 我们的信仰并不聚焦在罪上，因为罪不是我们信仰的焦点 With that, here is an expanded version of the apology I offered during my recent interview with Lisa Ling to the people within the LGBTQ community who have been hurt by the Church, Exodus International, and me. I realize some within the communities for which I apologize will say I don’t have the right, as one man, to do so on their behalf. But if the Church is a body, with many members being connected to the whole, then I believe that what one of us does right we all do right, and what one of us does wrong we all do wrong. We have done wrong, and I stand with many others who now recognize the need to offer apologies and make things right. I believe this apology – however imperfect – is what God the Father would have me do. 重点:我对曾被教会界、走出埃及及我个人伤害过的LGBTQ成员道歉, More than anything, I am sorry that so many have interpreted this religious rejection by Christians as God’s rejection. I am profoundly sorry that many have walked away from their faith and that some have chosen to end their lives. For the rest of my life I will proclaim nothing but the whole truth of the Gospel, one of grace, mercy and open invitation to all to enter into an inseverable relationship with almighty God. 重点: 我很抱歉让许多人把基督徒对你们的拒绝视做上帝对你们的拒绝 I cannot apologize for my deeply held biblical beliefs about the boundaries I see in scripture surrounding sex, but I will exercise my beliefs with great care and respect for those who do not share them. I cannot apologize for my beliefs about marriage. But I do not have any desire to fight you on your beliefs or the rights that you seek. My beliefs about these things will never again interfere with God’s command to love my neighbor as I love myself. 重点: 我「不会」为了自己对婚姻的信念而道歉， 但我也不会再让任何类似的事阻碍我遵行上帝的诫命－爱人如己 You have never been my enemy. I am very sorry that I have been yours. I hope the changes in my own life, as well as the ones we announce tonight regarding Exodus International, will bring resolution, and show that I am serious in both my regret and my offer of friendship. I pledge that future endeavors will be focused on peace and common good. 重点: 你们(LGBTQ)从来不是我的敌人，我很抱歉我曾与你们敌对... ...我誓言今後我所努力的焦点将会放在和睦与行善之上 --
