An ordained United Church of Canada minister who believes in neither God nor Bible said Wednesday she is prepared to fight an unprecedented attempt to boot her from the pulpit for her beliefs. In an interview at her West Hill church, Rev. Gretta Vosper said congregants support her view that how you live is more important than what you believe in. “I don’t believe in...the god called God,” Vosper said. “Using the word gets in the way of sharing what I want to share.”

Great points all.

[AppyPappy]

Just ask her this: So you think Allah is just a myth?

(crickets, crickets)

> I happen to have a very keen lesbian eye.

So do I. Just look for the ugly women with short / bulldyke hair that no man would be seen with. There you are...: )

So she lied when she took her oath.

Those are easy.

There are also the attractive ones who spurned my advances, back in the day.

Why believe in God when you can believe in the social gospel? (sarcasm)

The United Church celebrates
*the marriage of same-sex couples

It's OK, the United Church obviously doesn't believe in God anyway. Not in any meaningful sense.

Let her sue. Let her stay.

Just look for the “disconnected” detached from reality look on those types. A little harder but its not that hard to detect them by their behavior. They can also be hostile to men more so than the average woman. Of course a straight woman who’s married and fed up with her man after several years can almost act the same...lol

The easiest way to kill something, be it an organism, or an organization, is from within. Just as a single virus or bacteria, that works its way into the body, can kill the body, a single individual can kill an organization if they work there way into the inside. And with our society moving towards not allowing organizations to defend themselves against those they do not agree with (or be classified as 'haters'), this is going to happen more often.

My guess is this was a pretty liberal church before she showed up and they thought it was a good idea to ordain her.

Once you uncouple from Biblical Truth you get what you get.

After reading through their beliefs its apparent they believe in god and the bible when it makes them feel good.

So sad but I agree perhaps this turmoil will open the eyes of some to try a real church.

[MARKUSPRIME]

Shes been playing in the hatchet wound to long, lmao.

Even the Episcopalians recognize that when you leave the faith, you can’t lead it.

[Wiser now]

According to the article, there are only 50 members left. They need to withhold their donations to the church until she is forced to leave because she isn’t being paid.
I have seen several churches do just that, one to the point of being forced to close.
