Absolutely, every church should admit homosexuals. But, no church should put forth leaders who proclaim that a sin is not a sin.

I agree with qualifications. Paul in Corinthians describes how the Church in Corinth should deal with openly adulterous members. The list of sins he gives right there includes both adultery and homosexual sodomy. He said to exclude such people from the congregation until they change their ways.

Seems to me that open, practicing homosexuals who do not concede their acts are sinful fall into the category that Paul would exclude. Certainly he would oppose making them bishops.
