The United Presbyterian Church has proposed a new “sex code.” Parade magazine says it is “so liberal that it practically eliminates sin as a major factor in sexual relations.” Among the changes advocated is the “removal of all restrictions against unmarried adults who wish to live together [in fornication].”⁷⁸

The United Presbyterian Church’s proposed new sex code recommended, as Parade noted, the “removal of any stigma that makes homosexuals feel they are in irresolvable conflict with the Christian fellowship.”⁸⁹

Christianity Today related: “The denomination’s mother church in Los Angeles has a United Presbyterian-ordained youth director, and holds monthly dances for 13 to 20-year-old homosexuals.” The year’s “social high” for the church “was a May Festival that crowned a king and queen. A lesbian in formal male attire was chosen king; the queen was a boy” who resembled a girl.⁹⁰
