Even if he has “failed to perform the work of the ministry”, it is not a matter for any court in THIS country.

No, actually, the minister is in collusion with them. Read the last couple paragraphs.

It was NEVER about equality. It is about supremacy.

Maybe it was the fact that you wanted two wives that caused him trepidation.

But don’t send a message of support for the minister. He is openly cooperating with the gay couple on this. He wants the UMC Guidelines chucked out so he can do it.

Seeing as how my first wife had been dead for two years at the time, that would have been difficult, to say the least.

The government is not in ply in this particular situation. It’s the gay couple bringing a charge against their pastor in a CHURCH cour, with the intention of getting them to amend or chuck out the rule book for the United Methodist Church.

Of course it’s a set-up, and the pastor is in on it. He says so near the bottom of the article.

I apologize. I thought perhaps you were trying to have two wives AT THE SAME TIME...

I don’t know much about the UMC, but I think it stands to reason that a homosexual relationship with a married person is adulterous. Any sexual liaison with a person other than your spouse constitutes adultery.

Yeah. It’s a shame that even some of the clergy are turning their backs on Christianity.

The faggots can only sue if the government has set a precedence for them to do so.

Yes but the UMC will have to recognize the union as legal in the yes of the church.
The UMC doesn’t recognize polygamy even if the people are legally married on their country. So a person practicing polygamy cannot be ordained.

Church court. Not county court, not state court, not fed court. Church court. Dealing with church law.
