Nashville Statement

The Nashville Statement is a set of affirmations and denied beliefs regarding human sexuality and marriage, released in 2017 by a group of evangelical Christian leaders. It emphasizes traditional views on marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman and expresses opposition to same-sex relationships and transgender identities. The statement seeks to guide Christians on these topics, framing its views as aligned with biblical teachings. It has sparked significant debate, with supporters praising it for clarity and defenders of LGBTQ+ rights criticizing it for fostering discrimination.
