I fund this story a bit surprising.

Because they weren't *already* "out".

[SaveFerris]

Yes, the apostasy.

Next comes the Antichrist.

[gg188]

Only “out” to the choir boys.

[boycott]

The 100 need to be booted or their so-called church will fail. Members should leave.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why don’t they form an LGBT church?

That way they could have orgies and stuff instead of pretending to worship God.

[tbw2]

I’m not surprised that some were not totally “out”, or that some LBG then said “oh, and I’m trans”.

[Gene Eric]

Is that to say they’ve announced they suck?

[Jack Hammer]

“Dozens of Methodist clergy members took a stand for equality...”

Is that what they did...?

[inchworm]

Perhaps the clergy who came “out” may find themselves returning to a more empty church. Is there a list of the newly out clergy?

Seems like this is more about gay rights than the gospel, and more about politics than God.

[WENDLE]

These are sick and demented people in need of shock treatments and psychotropic drugs. The devil infects the institutional professional “church” and there they are.

[joshua c]

A church cannot discriminate against unrepentant sinners. How absurd! /s

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

The UMC went squishy on the idea of moral impediments to being in ministry a long time ago. I know of clergy who have been married and divorced multiple times. I know of clergy couples who left their spouses to marry each other. The LGBT stuff has been bubbling for decades. I don’t know how in the the long run the UMC can stand against that, or wants to stand against that, since they have already undermined the moral authority of their ministry.

[MtnClimber]

The last time I set foot in a Methodist church was my father's funeral servicice about 20 years ago. They are dead to me.

[originalbuckeye]

There are myriad reasons why I left the Methodist Church.....or should I say it left me?

[dfwgator]

Now we know why Hedley Lamarr wanted them.

[GregoTX]

A bunch of Methodist clergy came out as LGBT?

Whats wrong with Liquor Guns Bacon and Ti... er.. boobs?

[Sasparilla]

My late Uncle was a lifelong, devout Lutheran who left the church when it started ordaining homosexual ministers.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I guess that explains why they were pushing so hard to make sexual deviancy part of their religion.

[Theodore R.]

I know of one denomination for sure that is reliably conservative in every way and will never change its teachings: Independent Baptist.

[Desron13]

Really? Just what discrimination are they referring to? As far as I can tell the only people's rights that are being trampled on are traditional strait people. Remember when these freaks of nature insured us that they just wanted to be left alone to wallow in their strange urges? Those were the good old days. Now, if you don't want your little girl to have to share the women's room with a twenty two year old uncle pervy you're a hater.

[Tamatoa]

That church is surely missing God in its teaching. What a shame.
