The New England Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which includes four of the five states with gay marriage, issued a document stating that pastors can choose to solemnize same-sex marriages in individual churches that give their approval.Solemnize the sin and mock the scriptures, it's the ELCA way.
If GOD doesn’t judge this nation severely, He will have to apoligize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Not much discussion about Catholics in there.
Wait, what? How hard is it to refer to the couple as “he” and “he” or “she” and “she” instead of “he” and “she”? Of course, the scripture readings could be problematic, especially the Old Testament ones. Brothers and sisters, this is going to be pure comedy.
No matter that the whole moral system is screwed up by acquiescence of the clergy to the radical, homosexual agenda, there are still priorities to observe.
Given the sickness of many churches if homosexuals waive enough money there will be millions of Sodomite church weddings. I have come to the conclusion that so called straights are sicker than the Sodomites. It is now becoming clearer why God destroyed Sodom, it was not only the homosexuals, it was also the “Tolerant” straights.
Thank God for the Roman Catholic Church.
Tell the gov't, "marry" them at city hall but I will not allow my congregations Holy ground to be defiled.
I pray some do this, I wish they all would.
Why follow the Bible if one questions it?
THAT'S what the Bible is for all!
Advice to all...
If the church you are in has to “debate” this issue...get out now.
There is live churches and dead churches. Live ones follow the word of god and the spirit visits these churches. Dead churches follow the word of man with a hit tip to the word of god. The spirit keeps an eye on these “churches” but rarely visits.
If they believe that “gay marriage” is possible, why didn’t they require their clergy in “relationships” to marry before the state recognized “gay marriage”? Suddenly the state says it’s OK so know they require/allow it?! Man, I don’t know about anyone else, but I wouldn’t belong to a faith that takes its moral direction only when the state says it’s OK to do so...

How cute, they still say marriage is between a man and a woman but they'll marry whoever shows up anyway. They must think that joke will please enough of the membership to keep the bills paid.
many believers do not belong to churches anymore
for this reason.
If they have to ask then they are not a church. They are a liberal social club.
A pig is still a pig no matter how you dress it up and the same holds true for fags.
That IMO is the problem with Liturgical Christians and National Ecclesiastical Societies. .. when the leadership caves to corruption within its ranks the rest of the body is left in the lurch trying to decide if they should follow Scripture or if they should play follow the leader. Knowing neither the Scriptures nor the Power of God they put out their light and stagger about in darkness searching a wall to lean against.

Busy as bees destroying marriage, the family, and the freedoms of religion, speech and assocation.
Committing themselves to a life of sodomy...lovely. </extreme sarc off>
That's nothing. The elders at our church told a heterosexual couple to marry or stop living together.
