The influential Evangelical leader says he can no longer serve under his local bishop who in 2002 began sanctioning same-sex marriages. Packer’s conservative hermeneutic—leading him to the conviction that the scriptural prohibitions against homosexuality were binding today led to this criticism: “’It's the same process of logic that leads to supporting slavery,’ [the Rev. Kevin] Dixon said, noting that the apostle of Jesus also did not oppose slavery.” Packer calls the church’s position a "persistent unrepentant doctrinal disorder."
