Does the UMC actually have any straight female clergy?

I’m stumped and stunned, that the issue of homosexuality, has the potential to tear denominations apart like this.

But we may well see schisms in churches over this very issue.

Some churches and denominations will hold to traditional values, and reject open homosexuality and homosexual marriage.

Others, will bend over backwards to prove they are liberal, and openly accept homosexuality. Some may even perform homosexual marriages to prove how liberal they are.

Earlier this week, bishops announced a special 2019 meeting of its top legislative body, or General Conference, expressly to address church law on sexuality and find ways the denomination can avoid schism.

Too late.

And they really think they can let a problem like this fester for two years? The way the LBGT Nazi wing of the Democrat Party is attacking normal they won’t have a church by 2019.

If one claims to be a Christian they must agree the Bible is the guide book for be one. There are no other books predating the Bible concerning Christianity. With that in mind the versus Titus 2:3-5 and Romans 1: 26-28 should address any questions concerning women’s roll in church and homosexuality.
