Abraham Piper Shares His ‘Hope For An Anti-Gay Pastor’

October 27, 2021 by Staff

(ChurchLeaders) Abraham Piper, popular TikToker and son of famed theologian John Piper, responded to a pastor’s tweet about LGBTQ inclusion with a TikTok video, sharing his “hope for an anti-gay pastor.” Piper, who is widely known for his deconversion and subsequent criticism of evangelicalism, shared the TikTok video on Twitter in a retweet of the pastor’s remarks.

JJ Mannschreck, who is the lead pastor of Flushing United Methodist Church in Flushing, Michigan, originally tweeted, “I’m in a denomination that is fighting over LGBTQ inclusion…and because I fall on the traditional side of that ONE issue…I have to sit at the conservative table in the lunchroom at conferences. But I don’t wanna. Cuz.. *points at every other theological issue*”

Mannschreck was referring to the ongoing debate within the United Methodist denomination about whether the denomination should ordain LGBTQ clergy or participate in officiating same-sex marriages.
