I believe any Church has the right (and an obligation) to refuse to perform any kind of ceremony the nature of which is in direct contradiction to theirs and Christian teachings. A funeral glorifying the decedent’s gay lifestyle certainly applies. Save that garbage for the reception afterwards, it has no place in a House of God.
It is regrettable that they refusal was so short fused but I think the Church did the right thing.
I do not disagree. I'm merely pointing out that since the reason the church withdrew the offer is because the man was a homosexual, that they should have done their homework before making the offer to begin with.
