The question really isn’t who has the higher percentage - who cares? One pedophile or gay predator is too many.

The question is how are such people dealt with when their behavior is discovered?

In any (Protestant) church I’ve ever attended, no practicing homosexual (or admitted adulterer or fornicator, for that matter) was allowed to have any position of authority or leadership within the church. They could attend church, but that was it. They couldn’t be a deacon or elder, help lead worship, couldn’t even teach a Sunday School class.

The typical response in Protestant churches, when a leader is found to be in some sort of inappropriate relationship, is that they are given the choice to immediately resign whatever position they may have, or be publicly removed from it. Either way, they are typically out of leadership in a matter of days, not weeks, months, or years.

I guess for you, Anglicanism is not considered Protestant anymore ? They've ordained more than one gay bishop already ( openly gay and living with their partners too ).

Here's an example of what used to be a good Protestant Church that lost its way ....

Marble Collegiate Church, founded in 1628, is the oldest continuous Protestant congregation in North America. It is located at Fifth Avenue and Twenty-Ninth Street in New York City, and is part of the Reformed Church in America. The congregation has been a spiritual home to numerous well-known New Yorkers, and welcomes guests from all over the world every Sunday. Its worship services are seen live internationally on the World Wide Web.



See their Sunday Calendar . It has a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered (GIFTS) affirming ministry led by Dr. Kimberleigh Jordan, Elise Hanley.
