The 100 revs have tried to protect their theological integrity.
They have added clauses to their apology that reserve the right for each of them to hold their distinctive theologies and that seek to distance themselves from any particular Biblical interpretation.
So perhaps some signatories think of themsleves as orthodox.
Some of the signiatories have their roots in orthodox protestant denominations, some might even regard themselves as evangelical.
But when you see a place for homosexual behaviour in the church. When you feel the church has to apologise to the homosexual community for not accepting homosexuals as is, your theology is leaning so far over that it is in grave danger of leaving contact with its foundations.
It may feel like it's standing now, but it's just a matter of time. And as ministers they should be thinking about who their theology is going to land on and who it might drag with them when it collapses.
