The Patriarch of Moscow, Alexis II, has called on Protestant Churches to solve the issue of homosexual “marriage” by adhering to the values and principles of the Christian faith, instead of being carried away by liberal tendencies.

Bless his heart ... I hope they listen to him!

The Catholic and Orthodox churches have their problems with this issue, but they reject the behavior. That part is positive.

The mainlines would do well to follow that example, at least.

It always sort of amazes me that they continue to get this part right.

Let's remember that the Anglican Church, which is really part of the Catholic tradition is now openly allowing gay ministers. Most Protestants do reject homosexuality but perhaps don't spend much time at the pulpit speaking against it. Those that allow it are not Christian churches in any way shape or form.

This is Lutheran-Orthodox dialogue in action!!!!

Finland has native Lutheran and Orthodox churches, and the Finnish Lutheran Church also has strong ties with the Russian Orthodox Church.

Good for him. Hopefully, he can get through to the nitwits in this country.
