And so Canada's leading liberal Protestant denomination continues its downward spiral into irreligion and irrelevance.

Thank God my father converted out of the United Church in the 60s to marry my mother.

3,196 Congregations ~ assume no more than the usual number of homosexuals ~ that'd be LESS THAN 1% ~ you'd end up with 32 congregations that could conceivably be headed by a homosexual under the absolutely most liberal construction of the rules (on average).

To end up with enough homosexuals in the leadership and ministerial ranks of that church to take it over like this, you'd have to be overrun with all of them that Canada could supply ~ else, evenly distributed, this would not happen ~ EVER!

Sounds to me like it's time for all the straight people to leave before they make it a requirement ~ along with baptism ~ they still baptise, right?

Having an openly gay person as moderator “is good news,” he said. “I see the possibility for so many young people who may still be struggling with their orientation being able to look up and see role models.”

Then they should lead to Salvation through Jesus Christ and not led further done the path to Hell by a pervert........

Because they can’t wait to jump off the cliff right after the American Episcopal “church”.

Watching the episcopals convinces me Satan has hatched this little plan to destroy that denomination. God fearing congregations are fleeing, and then the headquarters sues them for their buildings. So they sit empty.

A through job of destruction of a denomination. I wonder if some of the gay leaders go back in their rooms and snigger at night at the mess they have made. Secret hostility towards Christ and his word is the only thing that can explain it.

Sad to see this Canadian den. doing the same thing. The enemy can’t destroy a strong church from without, so he sends his minions to take it down from within.

Decadence leads to dissolution and extinction. Say goodbye to the not so “United Church of Canada.” Let’s just pray that other “United” entities don’t follow.

The quickest way to drive straight’s away from Church is to fill it’s leadership with Queers.

If you want to see what the Godless sound like when they take over a church, read the next to last paragraph. Jesus must weep.

“Steep declining memberships, aging congregations and ministers, declinging revenues” and I bet the good folks of the United Church of Canada don’t understand how those might be connected to the folly of not following Biblical principles...liberals are just plain nuts carrying out the policies of satan himself and not the Lord Jesus.

The United Church of Canada has been a totally unscriptural masquerading joke for so many years that I can’t remember when it actually was a real church. In my opinion, they are exactly who Christ was speaking about in Matthew 7:22-24 …… 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

He is thought to be the first openly gay person to head any mainstream Christian denomination.

He is actually just another openly gay person to head a formerly Christian denomination. No true Christian church could select someone who openly rebels against scripture as a leader. We can have a leader who is guilty of adultery, if that person repents. We cannot have a leader who is guilty of adultery who brings "the other woman" to the ceremony recognizing his elevation.
