Stay Tuned, as 2 Churches Struggle With Gay Clergy
From the New York Times
The only certain result of the Episcopal and Presbyterian church
conventions that ended this week is that the participants will return to fight
another day — and at future church conventions — over homosexuality.
For the Episcopal
Church U.S.A. and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), as with other mainline
Protestant churches, the summertime convention season has become a painful
ritual. In each church, the conservatives and the liberals are bound together
like brawling conjoined twins.
The liberals dominate the power centers of the denominations — the national offices and the legislative arms. The conservatives have threatened to walk away, but most have not because they say the church is rightfully, theologically, theirs.
Sounds like another denomination we know- the Aus UCA.
