(kreuz.net) Ute Brause (51) is the wife of the Protestant Preacher Gerald Brause. He is active in Ossling and Grossgrabe in the Church district of Bautzen. The couple has been married for 28 years.
Because of the decision of Saxony's Protestants allow homosexual couplings in their parish residences, Frau Brause left the Protestant community.

After her departure Frau Brause informed her employer -- that the Protestant "Diakonische Werk" in the 17,000 population city Kamenz -- about the step
Within one and a half weeks later she was given notice.

The Protestant Lay-Bishop Had No Understanding
At the same time the Brauses received an invitation to a talk with the Saxon Homosexual Lay-Bishop Jochen Bohl in Dresden.
"He made it clear that he didn't understand act of conscience, which brought me to leave the church" -- Frau Brause told 'idea.de'.
Bohl wrote a letter to her husband that his wife may no longer approach the Lord's Table.
The Protestagay-Lay Bishop Threatened
The homosexual Lay-Bishop openly threatens: Should Frau Brause thereon participate in the Lord's Table, this could create a "difficult situation" for her husband.
Pastor Brause was ordained still in the DDR [The old Communist East Germany].
"Even the atheistic State itself respected that Christians held to the Bible" -- he told 'idea.de'.
