The Jointly Ordained Lesbian Couple Making History For Presbyterians
Huffpost ^ | 27.Mar.2015 | Carol Kuruvilla

This past Sunday, the lives of the Rev. Kaci Clark-Porter and the Rev. Holly Clark-Porter intertwined in perhaps an even more extraordinarily spiritual way, as the couple walked down the aisle at Wilmington, Delaware’s First and Central Presbyterian Church to become ordained Christian ministers.

The ordination came just days after the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) announced a change in its constitution that embraced a more inclusive definition of marriage, defining it as being between "two people" instead of between a man and a woman. With this change, PC(USA) becomes the largest Protestant group to offer a nationwide welcome for LGBTQ couples.

And he’s going to discuss Romans 1 with them and remind them that they are not really married so they are also committing adultery.
They will explode because they know it is the truth.

That would actually make sense — let them create their own “religion” called Lesbitarianism

Interesting. My background is RC. So the line of command from bottom up is priest, monsignor, bishop, cardinal, pope.

One of the problems with the PCUSA is that they have abandoned Presbyterian polity. In traditional Presbyterian government, the Presbytery (made up of ordained teaching elders with formal theological training (preachers) and ruling elders (ordained laymen with generally no formal theological training) sitting as a group has the power that a Bishop has in a hierarchical church. (This is what distinguishes presbyterians from congregational groups such as Baptists). (Appeals from judicial actions can be made to higher courts)

The PCUSA has gone to a (an?) hierarchical system and has designated the new office of “Executive Presbyter” as being the equivalent of the Bishop. So the PCUSA is technically no longer presbyterian in governance.

Anyone still going to a PCUSA church should be well beyond seeing the Bible as the word of God.

When God's wrath is poured out, they'll have no one to blame but themselves.

Yes. But, as I was telling Gamecock, we need to be under no illusion that this does not affect us -- whether Catholic or PCA/OPC etc.

1. Secularists will take this as more reason to keep attacking us

2. Non-Christians see no denominations and will look at this as Christianity's perversion.
