Edinburgh cancels Christian conference over Pastor’s negative views on LGBTQ relationships
The city of Edinburgh canceled a Christian conference after complaints that Larry Stockstill from Louisiana would be the keynote speaker. Stockstill, a preacher, author and pastors' mentor who also runs the church planting network Surge Project, was supposed to speak at the Surge Conference in June 2020. The conference is meant to help churches learn ways to grow.
Edinburgh received complaints about Stockstill, who has described same-sex relationships as “offensive”, “repulsive” and “deeply grievous.”
Stockstill preaches at Bethany Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His keynote address was titled “The Purpose and Privilege of Pastoring.”
The group heading the conference, Destiny Ministries and Destiny Church Glasgow will need to find another location for the conference if the group wants Stockstill to speak.
