How Should We Respond to Vicky Beeching?
4. Boycotting Vicky Beeching’s music is a matter of personal conviction. Although it appears that as a BBC broadcaster Vicky should be able to make a good living, she will lose royalties from the States if we no longer use her songs.
Should we attempt to punish her for coming out as gay? I don’t believe so, if “punish” is the goal.
Should we continue to use her music? That’s really a matter of personal conviction.
For some believers, it could be a serious distraction, putting the focus on Vicky Beeching and her sexuality rather than on Jesus the Lord and the glory of God.
For other believers, it is the truths and melodies of their favorite worship songs that help them connect spiritually, and they don’t know (or care) who wrote what they are singing.
Either way, whether we use her songs or drop her songs, since she did touch many lives in the past, there are many people who should be praying for her.
