OK then. Presbyterians voted to allow gay clergy, but booted the Mormon cub leaders.
At least they have their priorities straight.
Wrong Presbyterians, Rip.
These are the conservative ones that broke of of the ones that allow gay clergy.
Their priorities are fine.
That's about as fair as if I were to try to hang the Texas polygamists around the necks of the LDS folks in Salt Lake. Sort of a sun is to green as ocean is to yellow comparison.
And you claim we misrepresent Mormons when the fLDS are involved in certain things?
CharlesWayneCT, on this thread, mentioned that the church denomination this church is involved in is the PCA (the conservative Presbyterian Church in America). You are talking about the PC-USA, headquartered in KY, the "liberal" branch of Presbyterians.
While the rift in the PCUSA is recent, within the last year, it's still a definite change about belief among groups. (Post #61)
Again, it's not a PCUSA church.
Now, if you want to advocate that we treat all Mormons alike just like the way you're treating all Presbyterians alike, no matter where they splash down association-wise, then hey, just let us know, and we'll note that the next time Mormons try to say, "Hey, we don't practice polygamy any more, that they really don't speak for all Mormons...*"

I suggest you get your facts straight. As pointed out, this is the Presbyterian Church in America, which does not condone homosexuality in any way, shape or form.
Interestingly the liberal PC(USA), tho ones who are more "open minded" probably would not hesitate allowing cultists like the LDS be scout leaders.
Christ Covenant Church is not, and has never been, a part of the mainline Presbyterian Church, USA (PCUSA) which ordains homosexuals.
It is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) denomination which is very conservative and evangelical. The PCA denomination was formed in the 1970s when the mainline Presbyterians were beginning depart from the authority of scripture.
Please note also, I'm quite certain that a Mormon Church would never allow a non-Mormon to be an adult scout leader in (the many) troops which they sponsor...
