Ping!
I don’t get the conflict, she is either a minister of God or the state, she can’t be both.
Well, there goes freedom of religious expression.
Coming to the US by the end of Obama’s second term.
Military chaplains will be the first on the line.
A related issue: Sadly, the pro-homo ‘marriage’ referendum here in Washington State is leading 58-thirtysomething. The pollsters claim, probably exaggerating a little, that they rarely find a young person who is opposed to homo marriage. But even older people favor it at least west of the mountains. It’s just a matter of a few months or years until coercive marriage ceremony requirements begin here and in New York State.
I’m thinking the Mayan’s date was correct say within two years or so and it is actually the date of the Great Chastisement. If I could move to Idaho next door for at least a few more months of sanity I would, though most of the people here in my own eastern Washington town are quite conservative and we submitted lots of anti-referendum petition signatures.
“....but that she was always ready to accommodate same-sex couples by recommending a designated minister who would be happy to perform the ceremony.”
.
Even that action would be against the precepts of any religion that opposes same-sex “marriage”.
It is like saying, “I am not allowed to support your sinful lifestyle but I know of someone who will.”
EASY CHOICE... A no brainier.
Canada Ping!
Just to clear any confusion, what apparently passes for the Church of Christ in Canada is nothing like the Church of Christ you’ll find in the Bible Belt. Those in the South don’t tolerate women or homosexuals in the pulpit, or call evangelists “Reverend”.
