Annual Council session of the General Conference
A document entitled, "Safeguarding Mission in Changing Social Environments," was voted during the Annual Council session of the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church on October 15, 2007 in Silver Spring, Maryland. That document states, "Legislation concerning employment practices represents one area in which Seventh-day Adventist values and beliefs may be subject to challenge. For example: societies may establish laws providing new definitions for marriage or protecting a range of expressions and behavior associated with gender identity. Seventh-day Adventists believe that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman in loving companionship, and that the Bible makes no accommodation for homosexual activity or lifestyle. The Church does not accept the idea of same-sex marriages nor does it condone homosexual practices or advocacy." | Full article...
