A teenager tearfully testified last week that the staff of a San Diego area YMCA shamed her as a bigot for being upset by seeing the penis of a man who identified as a woman and was allowed to shower with girls in the facility’s women’s locker room.
Last year, I read that great biography called ‘Moody’, written by his son William, recounting the incredible ministry of 19th-century American evangelist D.L. Moody. In that book, story after story is recounted describing Moody’s ‘training ground’ to prepare himself for the ministry, a then-new group called the Young Man’s Christian Association. The 19th-century YMCA was a hotbed of evangelical activity and bible studies combined with physical exercise. Don’t you wish the YMCA was still a place like that today? Well, it’s not.
