One Step Forward, Two Steps Back for Presbyterian Church

And here I thought that surely no other American Protestant church could be as stupid as the Episcopal Church.

Larry Rued e-mails that the Presbyterian General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to strike down the Israeli divestment effort:

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church USA approved the committee motion by a vote of 483 to 28.

I wish to extend my appreciation to those who have helped us in the Presbyterian Church USA replace the Israel divestment resolution approved in 2004 with a much more even handed resolution regarding affairs in the Middle East.

That's a good thing.

Then they turn around and open the door to ordaining openly homosexual clergymen.

Stuck on stupid.

Here's a couple of questions sure to infuriate the so-called religious Left:

Would you ordain someone engaged in an openly adulterous affair?

Would you ordain someone who is addicted to heroin?

Would you ordain someone who is a kleptomaniac?

If not, why not?

We are all sinners, but it seems to me that churches which ordain unrepentant sinners have lost their way.
