The “Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood” — an evangelical Christian group — issued their “Nashville Statement” the other day on the heels of their group meeting in Nashville, Tenn.<\/p>\n

Nashville’s mayor is not at all happy about the nomenclature.<\/p>\n

Among those who rebuked the declaration was Nashville\u2019s mayor, Megan Barry. The \u201cso-called \u2018Nashville statement\u2019 is poorly named and does not represent the inclusive values of the city & people of Nashville,\u201d Barry wrote in a tweet Tuesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The “Nashville Statement<\/a>” itself is basically a series of affirmations and denials that boil down to “homosexuality bad, transgenderism bad, marriage between man and woman good, because we think God says so.” Nothing new here, and just what one would expect from an organization founded to reaffirm Biblical gender roles in the home and church and “\u201cto help the church defend against the accommodation of secular feminism\u201d, but it’s nice to see some folk pushing back against being associated with that sort of thing.<\/p>\n
