While CCH may be using theological argumentation as a smoke-screen for spouting anti-gay sentiment, other members of Memorial Church may have legitimate the-ological concerns with Gomes' position.
ALL OF THIS comes down to a theological dispute--President Neil L. Rudenstine was right about that. On one side are the CCH members who say that the Bible condemns homosexuality and that any Christian minister must follow that teaching.
In a written statement, Rudenstine said that it is not the University's place to dictate theological doctrine. As long as Gomes, who is also Plummer professor of Christian morals, continues to fulfill his duties, he should remain in office.
"I do not believe that it is the task of the University to apply a doctrinal test concerning issues that may be controversial but that are part of current theological debate, where reasonable people of different religious persuasions hold different views," he said in the statement.
