my point is that there are 98% who didnot do wrong and to blame them for the sins of the evil 2% is wrong. Also, do note the timeline in the 60s-70s —> this is not an excuse as those in authority should have acted quickly to throw them out, like they did in the 80s onwards and now there is even more stringent tests to ensure the gays do not creep in again. The pinko threat is facing all Churches — and they have overplayed their hand by the havoc they have wreaked on the ECUSA, PCUSA and now the ELCA — I mourn these, but see it as a wake-up call for the rest of us. This is not to gloat but to learn from the mistakes and we have learnt — there is a closing in to orthodoxy, throwing out the leniency that crept in in the 60s and 70s. Those in the 60s-70s with the wishy-washy era were told by psychiatric “experts” that a month’s “treatement in a clinic” could “cure” these and they foolishly believed that — but as pastors, as shepherds, they have no right to be fools.

In my view, the ever deepening and widening divide between those who take God seriously and those who do not - whether clergy or laity - is a "sign of the times."

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. - Revelation 22:10-13
