Thanks for reminding me on this. Personally, I believe that the moment an ordained deacon (seminarian, that is) or elder (seminary graduate) commits themselves to an "alternate" lifestyle of one's own same-gender gratification of reproductive equipment, he/she ought to at least immediately make provision for the charge to be filled by an approved trained minister, and resign his/her ordination, rather than wait until the time one is forced out of the assignment by supervision and/or the congregation.

This should be written up in the Discipline, and strictly observed inasmuch as a local serving minister should be the walking example of propriety as a member, leader, and representative of the Conference. To do otherwise merely serves to confuse the membership as to what a godly behavior consists of, and makes the Gospel a lie when the uncompliant preacher misuses the sacred desk.

It should not be necessary to even have to mention what I have just written.

They don’t truly believe in the Word. They think their feeelings are more important that the Word, the Logos.

Perhaps the problem lies in the seminaries. Surely her “bent” would have shown itself before this.
