Not only did they allow her to deliver 8 months of sermons but also a year’s salary.
How long has she been preaching in that church? Didn’t they suspect a long time ago? She oozes lesbian off the computer screen. Whomever hired her did as lousy a job (or was it intentional?) at vetting her as the US voters did our Terrorist in Chief. Neither was fit for the job and the employer knew it ahead of time.
You can stop right there. The buck passes to the Bishop, who ordains a candidate first as a deacon, then later as an elder, and has primary accountability for the minister's assignments and advancement. It is the District Supervisor's job to be alert to warning signs, and put the brakes on. The local congregation has a say, but not the ruling one.
At least, that's the way it was at least from about 1745 until about 1965; presumably also now.
