Assessment
Sojourn Grace Collective in San Diego, co-pastored by Colby and Kate Martin, is explicitly built around rejecting the traditional evangelical reading of the "clobber passages" on homosexuality — Colby Martin's book "UnClobber" is essentially the church's manifesto. It is a founding node of the "Post-Evangelical Collective" network of affirming ex-evangelical churches.
