-- Lutherans to allow pastors in gay relationships - Yahoo! News
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Homosexual Lutheran clergy who are in sexual relationships will be able to serve as pastors, the largest U.S. Lutheran body said on Saturday.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) passed a resolution at its annual assembly urging bishops to refrain from disciplining pastors who are in "faithful committed same-gender relationships." |
Oh my! This is good news. My lady is Lutheran, though she is Missouri Synod rather than ELCA. Maybe she should switch.  (Like I see that happening!) America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. Want to help to stop this? Check out the Pickens Plan website at www.pickensplan.com.
