The Hamburg-Grindelberg SDA Church in the North German Union is not resolving their problem of having an Out-and-Proud bisexual-pastor. In fact, they are pushing their LGBTQ agenda even further. Here are two examples,
This week, the Grindel SDA Church announced on their website that they are collaborating with SDA Kinship (a pro LGBTQ activist group).
They also voted an official statement on LGBTQ gayness. They now accept LGBTQ+ individuals in all positions of leadership.

Statement for equality Adventist church Grindelberg
A PLACE OF HOPE
We want to share God's love with all people and warmly welcome them. We want to learn to allow different positions to stand side by side and are convinced that this can be achieved if we respect the dignity and faith of our counterparts. We experience diversity as strength and enrichment.
As an Adventist community in Grindelberg, we want to be a place of hope that is characterized by mutual tolerance and respect.
We want to accept all people, regardless of age, ethnic origin, culture, religion, gender identity and sexual orientation.
• We want to make sure that people are not disadvantaged.
• We deeply regret the suffering that has been and is being inflicted on people by society and also by us Christians. We believe that it is high time to end these discriminations in the name of the gospel.
• We seek reconciliation with those we have excluded.
With regard to the LGBTQ+ discussion within our free church, the following is important to us:
We see queer people, whether single or in a relationship, as equal siblings with whom we want to build the Kingdom of God together. This also includes collaboration and participation in responsible positions.
We know that we have different positions on this in our community and in our free church and we would like to stay on the path together

In April, 2024 they are having another pro-gay-theology conference. The purpose of this conference is to promote LGBTQ by twisting the Holy Scriptures.
Observations
Like cancer, this problem in Germany is getting worse by the month. And like cancer, it will eventually kill the patient.
It started with the North German Union defying the world church on the issue of WO in 2012. As rebellion gives birth to rebellion, they have now moved on to the next gender confusion on the list, LBGTQ. Polyamory and pedophilia are next.
At Annual Council meeting 2023, the delegates voted to give the GC executive committee (themselves) the authority to resolve significant matters in the church at Spring Meeting as well as Fall Meeting. This authority, like the 2018 Compliance Document, means nothing if it isn’t used.
Use it.
The only other option is to let the church drift and bewail our fate when it crashes into the rocks of self-destruction.
Use it.
