Seeking to evoke the most famous image of the Protestant Reformation, Presbyterians fighting for gay rights will nail their demands to the door of a church in Dobbs Ferry on Sunday before reaffirming the ordinations of gay and lesbian clergy.
Hundreds of progressive Presbyterians from throughout New York and New England are expected to gather at South Presbyterian Church for a unique worship service, perhaps the most visible and brazen stand yet in a gay-rights debate that threatens to fracture the 2.6-million-member Presbyterian Church (USA).
Many of the participants have openly declared that they will not abide by Presbyterian church law that bans the ordination of practicing homosexuals. Some, including the pastors of South Church, also say they will no longer distinguish between Christian marriages and union ceremonies for same-sex couples.
Rev. Gilmore says this group wants a church where no one is excluded. It seems they should be more concerned about these non-Bible believing people being excluded from the Kingdom of God.
I always get the PCUSA and CPUSA confused. Can someone tell me which Anti-American, Anti-God organization is being discussed here? :^)
Seriously, this is what must happen when churches forget that Christ came to SAVE us from our sins. How can we condemn sin if we don't believe that Christ rescues us from it?
It's sad to watch once-great churches fall for this.
At the root of this perversion is bad theology, and Kris Kliemann above gave it away: "It's the kind of thing a little kid understands. If God says 'I love everybody, and everyone should love each other,' why do we pick and choose?" See the basis for their error?
Progressive Presbyterians? I wonder where they are progessing to? Has the word repentence lost its meaning? Perhaps there will soon be a vote as to whether God will be allowed to have a judgement day?
