The Nashville Statement is an evangelical Christian statement of faith relating to human sexuality and gender roles authored by the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) in Nashville, Tennessee in 2017.[1][2][3] The Statement expresses support for marriage between one man and one woman, for faithfulness within marriage, for chastity outside marriage, and for a link between biological sex and "self-conception as male and female".[4] The Statement sets forth the signatories' opposition to LGBT sexuality, same-sex marriage,[1] polygamy, polyamory, adultery, and fornication.[4] It was criticized by egalitarian Christians and LGBT activists,[3][5] and several conservative religious figures.[1]
