I pastor a church with 150 members--with about 140 in attendance on average, of whom 25 are teens. So we have young people in our congregation.<br />3. Gay ordination has seldom come up in conversation in our congregation. It's just not an issue here. I don't know what people think about it. There are too many other, more pressing issues to address.<br />3. The fact that so many are criticizing the authors for all being male kinda makes their point for them. If you don't like people who make judgments based on gender, look in the mirror.NLCC OM Blog!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08674897354944511410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372597276838966826.post-81551217460878264432011-02-05T14:04:22.340-08:002011-02-05T14:04:22.340-08:00I wondered if "deathly ill" was a cipher...I wondered if "deathly ill" was a cipher for gays.

I know most of the men who signed the letter. I am generally in agreement with them. I started a ministry within the PCUSA that helps men and women leave homosexuality. I can't affirm a lifestyle that isn't of God. I can't affirm a large portion of our denomination that is calling sin....good. We are a denomination that is "deathly ill."Jeff Winterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142996112736793481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372597276838966826.post-12035429854240281322011-02-04T22:08:26.823-08:002011-02-04T22:08:26.823-08:00Thank you all for taking the time to read and refl...Thank you all for taking the time to read and reflect on this. I hope and pray that one day we will sit at table together listening to all voices and doing so in a respectful and loving way.
