The United Methodist Church overturned its 40-year ban on gay clergy Wednesday, during a meeting of the church’s top legislative body in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The church has long been divided into factions over its stance on homosexuality and gay clergy and even weighed splitting into two separate churches over the issue, CNN previously reported.

ReplyDeleteThirty + years ago, I left the Presbyterian church for Methodism and people will recall me saying: “Jesus Christ, this is the Church of John Calvin not some clique of queer Jesuits!”
ReplyDeleteNow this? I’m really beside myself.
You do realize that Calvin played for the other team? Big article on this in Culture Wars a couple months back.
ReplyDeleteWho knew that Calvin was a pillow biter?
