Dans cet article, on soutient que l’Église doit ériger la théologie du mariage de manière ordonnée, car la culture n’a plus de fondement dans la pensée chrétienne. L’essence de l’argumentation repose sur la distinction provenant de la tradition luthérienne des « deux voies du royaume de Dieu ». Selon cette distinction, nous partageons avec d’autres personnes des « lieux de responsabilité », mais avec les vertus chrétiennes de foi, d’espérance et d’amour, nous les transformons en lieux du rayonnement du christianisme. Ensuite, je plaide fermement pour le rejet permanent du mariage homosexuel chez les chrétiens orthodoxes. En conclusion, j’inclus ce que j’espère être une approche pastorale compatissante – une tolérance gracieuse – envers les chrétiens homosexuels.

In questo articolo si sostiene che la Chiesa deve stabilire la teologia del matrimonio in modo ordinato, perché la cultura non ha più un fondamento nel pensiero cristiano. L’essenza dell’argomentazione si basa sulla distinzione che deriva dalla tradizione luterana delle «due vie del regno di Dio», secondo cui condividiamo con altre persone «luoghi di responsabilità», però li trasformiamo in luoghi di radiosa cristianità con le virtù cristiane di fede, speranza e amore. Si sostiene anche il rifiuto permanente del matrimonio omosessuale tra cristiani ortodossi. In conclusione, si include quello che spero sia un approccio pastorale compassionevole – la graziosa tolleranza – verso i cristiani omosessuali.

In this article, I argue that the church must build up its theology of marriage in a more disciplined manner because the culture no longer sustains the Christian notion. In making a substantive argument I rely on the Lutheran “two ways that God reigns” approach in which we share “places of responsibility” with all humans, but in which the Christian virtues of faith, love, and hope transform those places into genuine Christian callings. I then contend strongly for the continued rejection of same-sex marriage among orthodox Christians. I conclude with what I hope is a compassionate pastoral approach-gracious tolerance-toward homosexual Christians.
