Last June, World Vision U.S President Richard Stearns stated, No one ever died of gay marriage, thereby trivializing the importance of the issue, as if it contrasted with the organizations mission of providing tangible relief to suffering humanity.
Today, he went much further, claiming that this radical, unbiblical move is actually a very narrow policy change that should be viewed as symbolic not of compromise but of [Christian] unity.
What? World Vision redefines the nature of marriagethe most fundamental institution of society, ordained by God in Genesis 2 as the lifelong union of a man and a woman and reaffirmed by Jesus as such in Matthew 19and ignores the explicit and repeated condemnation of homosexual practice throughout the Scriptures and then claims it is a very narrow policy change?

Sounds like it... of course that could be either sarcasm or a poke at their C.Y.A effort.
