"Police arrested 33 people who refused to move."

I can see the police brutality to gays and lesbians cropping up now.

"Church law prohibits ordination of openly gay and lesbian people, although the church's social principles support rights and liberties for them."

So its okay to be a closet gay and lesbian pastor? That's what it sounds like. I didn't think you could John Kerry something like this, but I guess you can.

And the pastor had a baby out of wedlock, then married her lesbian lover. Amazing.

Dang. That's just a few miles from here. I could have been there with my digital camera for an FR exclusive. Oh well...

I never understood why some of these people who want to change Christianity just don't go start their own religion or denomination.

This woman could call it the United Lezbodist Denomination.

The first question to ask the UMC is why they have women serving as pastors.

One reason I left a United Methodist church and now go to an independent church: the UM's are a bit too leftist for me.

I know a lot of good Bible-believing Methodists, and count them as friends. (Strange, isn't it, that both our splendid President and Hitlery claim to be Methodists?) I think some of my friends are staying to try and remain a light in a church that is going the wrong way. God bless them.

We left, though, for some other reasons...but the leftwingnuts running the administrative headquarters of the UMC weren't much reason to consider staying within the denomination.
