UPDATE: Further clarification from the South England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists below.

My former denomination continues to make headlines, though not in the way they’d like, I think. Ben Carson has been saying things like homosexuality “absolutely” is a choice. Though he later apologized I don’t think he suddenly changed his mind. It’s more like the apology I used to offer my parents: I’m sorry I got caught. Or worse, I’m sorry some people were offended. The classic non-apology.
In the past few days, American Adventists have been making a mess in London, where they planned to hold an event called Holy Sexuality Conference. The event has now been cancelled, thanks to over 40,000 signatures on the Change.org petition.
