In 1978, the United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America prohibited the ordination of "practicing homosexuals" to the church's ministry. In this prohibition, by providing a pivotal role for homophobic interpretation of Genesis 1-3, Presbyterians linked up with the exclusionist policies of both the Roman Catholic and fundamentalist communions. The following article submits this use of the biblical narratives of creation to critical examination and provides an alternative liberationist perspective.
1978年，美国联合长老会禁止“有同性恋行为者”担任教会神职。在这项禁令中，长老会通过对《创世记》1至3章进行恐同解读发挥了关键作用，从而与罗马天主教和原教旨主义团体的排外政策联系在一起。以下文章对这种对圣经创世叙事的运用进行批判性审视，并提供一种解放主义的替代视角。
