PCUSA Ordains First Married Lesbian Couple as Ministers Days After Denomination's Marriage Amendment

Days after America's largest Presbyterian denomination approved an amendment to its constitution changing its definition of marriage to include same-sex couples, a lesbian couple will be ordained as ministers Sunday at First & Central Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware.

Kaci Clark-Porter and Holly, who married three years ago, will be the first-ever same-sex couple to be jointly ordained, according to USA Today, which says the denomination couldn't point to other examples.

Last year, Presbyterian Church (USA) approved a vote on an amendment to change their official definition of marriage from "a man and a woman" to "two people, traditionally a man and a woman." And on Tuesday, the proposed change to PCUSA's Book of Order got the necessary number of presbytery votes.

The ordination service will be held Sunday afternoon.

Both were raised in conservative Texas homes, divorced their husbands and came out in their 20s during seminary.

"It wasn't until I started serving here at First & Central that I felt like I really became a pastor," WDDE quoted Clark-Porter as saying. "That I was really able to care for people. Because I finally cared for myself, and this community cared for me and accepted me, and accepted my relationship to Holly fully."

Clark-Porter will now be the church's associate pastor, and Holly runs the Big Gay Church, which operates at First & Central.

This is wrong on so many levels. It is not a Christian church.

I give 'em six months, maybe two years at the outside.

The same-sex “marriage” advocates never stop pounding the square peg into a round hole.

They are hook-up dens for sex with children. It’s what homo-freaks live for.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight.
