Does Koinonia aim to clarify and discuss controversial issues in the Christian environment (divorce, second marriage, female leadership, abortion, homosexuality, etc)?No, differing views on doctrinal issues that are not directly linked to Christ's redemptive work on the cross are not the focus of discussion in Koinonia. Questions of this type will be referred to the authorities established in each brother's home congregations.
