“I’m deeply saddened this ecclesial body doesn’t make room for openly LGBT individuals, other than to say you’re welcome but we won’t treat you equally,” said Collison. “Ultimately, it becomes a question of what is love about and what is inclusion about. It breaks my heart.”

God personally burned them to death by the city full, and left instructions elsewhere in the bible that they be killed.

I guess they just skip over the parts of the bible they don't like.

The issue of female pastors and homosexuals are drawing lines in the sand for churches today.

Those that accept these are fallen away.

Those that reject these are standing firm.

The governing body of this denomination, showed great courage, in my opinion, to do this. In today’s culture, in which we are supposed to embrace and celebrate homosexuality, this is a gutsy move.

Influenced by the world instead of influencing the world.

Christians have to do a better job of vetting their own schools of theology and from there what are the affirmations of faith a prospective clergy must make.

Also, Christians can counter the false meme of “hate” concerning biblical teachings on sex. It was never out of hate of any person that the pertinent scriptures were written. The biblical adage of loving the sinner and hating the sin must be stressed on both the former point and not just the latter.

I’ve honestly never heard of the Evangelical Covenant Church group, and I grew up surrounded by church in all flavors.

Anyway, good for them. They’ll be attacked mercilessly, now.

“Ultimately, it becomes a question of what is love about...”

I think this guy needs to read his Bible more.

1 John 2 excerpts:

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.....

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world....

If it like my denomination, not only is the body expelled, but the property is confiscated by the head church administration.

BTW, I have no problem with women preachers.

I am still officially a member of the Evangelical Covenant Church, even though there is not one close enough to me now where I live; it was my church in the state I grew up in. It is a wonderful denomination, When I moved away, their main tenet was, “What does the Bible say?”

I guess the picture tells us just what type of person is running the show there.
