“It is entirely proper for senior leaders to say, in effect, “This is the mountain we will climb. Not that one, this one.

“When Paul talks about singleness and marriage as gifts, he’s not referring to a state that God has awarded us for life, but without actually having the decency to tell us. He’s simply referring to both marriage (and specifically the expression of sexuality within marriage) and singleness (specifically the freedom from unconquerable sexual temptation as a single person) as gifts conferred by God. They go with the turf, not with the individual.”
