Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
An advocacy organisation's compiled reference page, used because no dedicated positional-statement page was found hosted in full at a stable address on the denomination's own site; the page names and dates the 2013 General Assembly action it draws on rather than asserting the position unattributed. NotesCited for Disciples of Christ's sexuality-position and its detail.
