The Orthodox called not to give gays and lesbians in Europe and Asia to hold their forum in St. Petersburg under the sign of Christianity

On Wednesday, representatives of the Orthodox action corporation, which includes famous Orthodox Christians, distributed a statement in which they ask the Orthodox living in St. Petersburg, to prevent homosexuals and lesbians in this city forum.

The fact that in St. Petersburg on September 16-18 there will be an annual LGBT Christian forum (LGBTI deciphens as “lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender”) eastern Europe and Central Asia, it became known on Monday. However, for the venue, for security purposes, each participant will be informed for a few hours or days before the start of the forum.

According to the New Politics , the Orthodox Action Corporation says: "The Orthodox Action Corporation appeals to its St. Petersburg friends and like -minded people with a request to legitimate and legal means to prevent this anti -Christian gathering, blasphemously called Christian."

According to members of the corporation, the imposition of such mortal sin as homosexuality, as a norm, is a "challenge to the Holy Scriptures."

"Pastoir seminars are needed for the spiritual treatment of people sick with Sodom sin. But in order to cure the patient, the disease and sin should be called their names," the statement said.

The corporation also turned to the "sensible Protestants" with an appeal to think about the causes of what was happening in their faiths. "Protestantism traditionally claims that it is based on the Holy Scriptures. However, the Holy Scripture does not give any las items to justify Sodom sin. Therefore, the holding of the" Christian "festival of the advertisers of the Sodom sin, in logic, is unthinkable for any Protestant movements," the Orthodox are sure.

They pointed out that Protestantism initially followed the path of the “revision” of Christianity, “which, of course, ultimately led to an revision of moral norms,” Interfax reports. "The church founded by Christ, which retained the indiscriminately Christian dogmatic and moral doctrine, should become a guide, the ship of salvation for those Protestants who look at the" Christian "gay -festivals held in the bosom of the Protestant community," the statement said.

Its authors believe that it is necessary to take a "decisive and only possible step: having understood the deep causes of the degradation of some Protestant denominations, to join the Orthodox Church."

Among the coordinators of the Orthodox action corporation, abbot Sergeni, Sergeni Rybko, hegumen Serapion Mitko, hieromonk Makariy Markish, publicist Olga Gumanova, political scientist Kirill Frolov.

As reported, in the program of the LGBT Christian forum-seminars, discussions, round tables, master classes, performances of courageous, theologians and pastors, worship.
