In May, church leaders ratified an amendment to their constitution that removes language, according to Tobin, that prohibited gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender individuals, as well as all other unmarried sexually active men and women, from serving as ordained officers of the church.

Under the new rules, local church leaders will have more flexibility in determining each candidate's fitness for office, Tobin said. All other ordination standards stay the same.

I'm very curious to know how many young people are entering the seminary to be pastors in the Presbyterian Church USA.

The most offensive thing about this denomination is that the medical plan for pastors and their families gives them coverage for abortions.

WHAT???? NO WAY. No way can any Church be so depraved. No way -- I'm sorry to doubt your word Dr. Scarpetta, but that is crazy
