Pastors and other church leaders are fighting back against the British Columbia government’s SOGI 123 sex-ed curriculum with the launch of their West Coast Christian Accord.

“The church in British Columbia is waking up to the fact that there has been change and that it is not all positive,” said Cedar Grove Baptist Church pastor Kevin Cavanaugh in an interview Thursday.

The West Coast Christian Accord is a 14-point document outlining the Christian position on gender identity and human sexuality. Roughly 200 pastors and more than 1,100 church leaders had already signed this accord as of Thursday morning.

All of them intend to use the sword of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, in their fight to stop a sex-ed program they claim is harming children.

“It’s sowing doubts and confusion into the minds of very, very young children,” said Cavanaugh. “It’s an oversexualization of everything. … We see it as a sexual activist agenda.”

After live-streaming their announcement of this accord on Facebook Thursday, the pastors signed a letter to be sent to British Columbia Education Minister Rob Fleming. That letter asks the education minister to stop using SOGI 123 in the province’s schools.

“The likelihood of that being blown off is pretty good but it is our starting point,” said Cavanaugh. “We are concerned that what is being taught right now is not good for anyone and is detrimental.”
