“allowing gay clergy who are in committed relationships.”
What? They’re not allowing “single” homos to be pastors? How do they weed them out? Does this mean that “single” homos can’t even go to seminary? Sounds like more discrimination to me. After all, they don’t require heteros be in “committed relationships” of any kind!
The ELCA's folly of adding denominational codicils to the Bible is continuously on display for all to see. Maybe if the homosexual seminarian-to-be were to show an engagement ring to the seminary's admissions department . . . .
