In this June 16, 2011 photo, Rev. Amy DeLong sits at her home, in Osceola, Wis. While trials of pastors who conduct same-gender ceremonies have only occurred once every several years, the threat is indeed real: DeLong faces a three-day trial starting Tuesday, June 21, 2011, on two charges: violating a church prohibition on the ordination of "self-avowed practicing homosexuals" and marrying a lesbian couple.1 posted on

1 Corinthians 6:9-10.... 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals,[a] nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

The UMC General Conference is next June in Tampa. The issues of gay marriage and ordaining gay Pastors will surely come up.
I pray that we vote to “continue studying” the issue for another four years.

. . . a church rule that prohibits them from officiating at same-sex marriages I guess violating this rule makes sense . . . if the "minister" also officiates at ceremonies celebrating murder, theft, adultery, dishonoring one's own parents, and those who hate their neighbors. What I don't understand is why someone who either doesn't believe in God, or believes but doesn't think that belief means one has to obey God, would bother with a career in ministry.
