A quick trip to their
website confirmed that this isn't an ELCA congregation.

It seems the church was willing to look past a lot except that she willfully was living in sin. From the article: "According to the church, Henry's employment was terminated not because she had a baby out of wedlock, and not because she remained unmarried, but because she continued to live with her boyfriend in a sexual relationship while unmarried," the appeals court's three judges wrote in their opinion. She could could have kept her job if she married the guy. That's what sin is rebellion against G-d. WTG, Red Hill

being it is Cal;ifornia I wonder if the Court would have made the same decision if they were a same sex couple?

Sara Henry was teaching at a church school and living in sin, bearing a child out of wedlock.
She needs many prayers since she OBVIOUSLY has a badly malformed conscience or is just amazingly arrogant to think that she could get away with it.
