***Wesley cause a lot of division. ***

So did Jesus Christ.



***Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean?***

I believe the answer would be - the Spirit of God.

Has He not done so several times in the history of the Church?

My point is that McMahon has seemed to hang his hat on the fact that an ordaination to elder is valid no matter what the spiritual state of the ordaining elder. In that case, then an openly gay elder would be able to ordain and the entire church should recognize such an ordaination as valid.

Do you regard an openly gay elder as a valid elder and do you regard his ordinations as valid?

Thanks,
Christian.
