Presbyterians To Study Place Homosexuality Should Have In Christianity

I believe brother Paul the apostle explained the place homosexuality has in the Church… absolutely none:

1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Apparently, the Word of the LIVING GOD is not good enough for these folks calling themselves by Jesus Christ’s name.

The Presbyterian Church (USA) has tapped a 13-member committee to investigate the place same-sex unions should have in Christianity and wider society and issue a report in 2010.

The Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow, who is currently serving a two-year term as the church’s moderator and who chose members of the panel, said it is composed of theologians, lawyers, pastors and professionals from an array of theological backgrounds.

“I know there will be a lot of commentary on the choices I have made,” Reyes-Chow, pastor of a San Francisco church, said on his blog before making the announcement, “and on the work that they will do.”

Like most mainline Protestant denominations, the PC(USA) has been divided for years about the role of gays and lesbians in the church. Currently, 173 presbyteries, or local governing bodies, are voting on whether to allow gay and lesbian ministers. Clergy are allowed to bless same-sex unions so long as the relationship is not equated with marriage.
