Pride can be divisive. I want to disagree well

Savitri Hensman responds to Christian Concern’s claim that Pride flags represent an “anything-goes” approach to sex

Open disagreement makes some people uncomfortable. And when it touches on something that is deeply personal, it can be distressing. Yet vigorous debate – in the Church and in wider society - can be healthy. It allows people to consider points of view different from their own and aids our quest for truth.

If we do not debate with those we disagree with, it is easy to slip into being inaccurate about their opinions which, even if unintentional, can be deeply unhelpful. This happens on both sides in debates around sexuality and gender, especially among Christians.
