I agree with the church. It should not be asked to compromise moral principle for the sake of feelings or even family ties. In the Bible, we are commanded to follow God and not allow ties of blood or sentiment to get in the way of serving Him.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Homosexuals always expect everyone else to compromise values, and then whine when it doesn’t happen.

Had this church been a mosque, we would be hearing crickets.

Maybe if he wasn't gay he wouldn't have picked the squids?

Just kidding.

1. Churches are there for all sinners, not just saints.

2. God hates sins, not sinners.

3. This church through it’s not so infinite wisdom is denying
the power of Christs healing blood.

If this man had been a church member, then they should have held his memorial but talked to his family about the care that needed to be taken about talking about his life. The article says that they knew he was gay. If that’s true, then they should not have agreed to hold the memorial. If they knew and then they offered his family that service, they should have carried through with it. His homosexual partner should never have been acknowledged in the service, though. It’s a difficult issue. If he was a member of their congregation and was known to be living in sin, then he should have been ex-communicated if he was not working with them to get out of his sinful lifestyle. A sad issue for the church to deal with. Even sadder that people are consciously choosing to live in sin.
