The ban on the “priests” being married is non-biblical and should be lifted.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Nobody is forced to be celibate. Everyone has a right to marry, as long as they can find a person of the opposite sex that they are eligible to marry, who is of age, who consents, who is not within a prohibited degree of kinship, and has not bound by other vows which would rule out marriage, e.g. being already married to somebody else, or having made a vow not to marry.

But I'm suspecting that you think people should not be allowed, of their own free will and for the sake of the Kingdom, to take vows of celibacy? Perhaps you could explain that.

And... do you even believe in the priesthood? Does your church have married priests?

And on the other hand, does your church have any provision for vowed celibates, whose way of life is recommended by St. Paul?

Knowing this would help me understand your position better.
