Runaway Morality

Tuesday, May 03, 2005

We’ve wondered about this, too.

Could we have an explanation concerning the failure of the Baptist church in Duluth, Georgia, to make any reference at all to the fact that the Runaway Bride and her Live-in Groom shared a home without the benefit of marriage?

In all of the newscasts that I saw on the story here in Atlanta, the fact that the marriage had been consummated before the wedding was presented as commonplace. We’ve come to expect that of popular culture, but we’d like to believe that evangelical churches would require a bit more from their Sunday school teachers.

I thought the same thing too. But then a colleague of mine said that he saw an interview with the groom who clarified that they were NOT living together. She was moving in some of her things in anticipation of their upcoming wedding, but, according to the groom, they were in a God-honoring chaste relationship.
