Human SexualityThe Church of the Nazarene believes
that every man or woman should be treated with dignity, grace, and holy love, whatever
their sexual orientation. However, we continue to firmly hold the position that the
homosexual lifestyle is sinful and is contrary to the Scriptures.
Clergy Sexual AbuseRecent media coverage of cases
of clergy sexual abuse has heightened our awareness of the delicate nature of the
relationships which clergy and other Christian workers have with the people to whom they
minister, whatever their age, gender, or circumstance.
Disaster ReliefAround the globe at almost any
point in time, people are suffering the effects of manmade and natural disasters.

lifestyle for millions of people.
