Ping!
er umm, he may be the FIRST advertisedly gay minister ordained, but I guarantee he is not ‘the first”
LOL! Our small town presby minister was busted for soliciting gay sex over 50 years ago
Just another play in the communist handbook.
Destroy everything.
Replace it with the State.
Boycott them, folks.
Money is all they respect, not God’s Word.
Another faux “church”. Caving in to the sodomites and their gross perversion. I think someday this “church” is going to regret this.
Exactly. Whatever they can’t destroy, they will infiltrate. Whatever they can’t infiltrate, they will destroy.
Sad. This person’s selfish ambition in opposition to God’s word. Where God builds a church, Satan builds a chapel.
“To the thousands of Presbyterians who have worked and prayed for almost 40 years for this day, I give thanks,”
I dunno - I thought if they actually prayed about this then they might have heard something contrary to their thinking or got stoney silence as you do when you know you are asking for the wrong thing. I would be surprised if anybody actually really prayed about this at all - they just force it through and then call it God’s Will.

IMHO, God is not pleased.
Consider the Presbyterian Church of America because it has gone the exact opposite of that way (and followed the Lord and His word)>
The PCA, says Marriage is between one man and one woman and that sexuality is only ordained under that covenant.
Consider the PCA
Like many other churches, this church has decided to join the ranks of harlots. Who would think that members of a church would stand and give a thunderous standing O to a supposed minister of God who professes, embraces and is unrepentant of sin?
This is why many people are not attending the Presbyterian Church anymore.
They are no longer a Christian church
Isn’t this so called ‘church’ involved in divesting from Israel?
I tried that and found the church I went to pretty liberal as well. I was doubly surprised because I went expecting to find what you described. Instead, I found a bunch of Obama supporters who even had the ex-(disgraced) Mayor of Philadelphia, Wilson Good take the altar to beg for money for one of his pet organizations. And spending way too much time trying to guilt the congregation to hand over their earnings, even going so far as to equate them with stupid, greedy monkeys if they didn’t.
I assume it was the particular church I tried. But membership in any organization does not guarantee adherence to the rules of that organization. That’s why I tend to avoid those churches that identify with a big parent organization and prefer those that focus on the locality and the needs-at-hand, both universal and local.
Was the PCA Church of which you speak in Philly? I’m surprised....I thought the PCA Church was a REALLY, really conservative one.
I think the Episcopalian Church is already feeling the effect from their descision for gay clergy. Strife, splits, and loosing membership. The Prsybyterians USA will soon follow. In fact it has already started. Prysbyterian Church America, a split, is already one of the fastest growing chuches in the country. http://www.prysbyterianamerica.org
