The freak show continues. What a joke.
The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
If the church ‘allows’ it, they cannot deny such weddings nor may the pastors refuse service.
Such is the way of the homofascist.
Very much so since they are aware of ordained atheist ministers in the ranks.
I’m a Presbyterian Minister Who Doesn’t Believe in God (Patheos ^ | March 17, 2015 | John Shuck)
Belief-less Christianity is thriving right now, even as other forms of the faith are falling away rapidly. Many liberal or progressive Christians have already let go or de-emphasized belief in Heaven, that the Bible is literally true, that Jesus is supernatural, and that Christianity is the only way. Yet they still practice what they call Christianity. Instead of traditional beliefs, they emphasize social justice, personal integrity and resilience, and building community. The cultural artifacts serve as resources. But what about belief in God? Can a belief-less Christianity really survive if God isn’t in the picture? Can you even call that Christianity anymore? In theory, yes. In practice, it is a challenge because “belief in God” seems to be so intractable. However, once people start questioning it and realize that they’re not alone, it becomes much more commonplace.
There are conservative Presbyterian churches: opc.org Orthodox Presbyterian Church and the PCA Presbyterian Church in America
