"The highest court in the United Methodist Church has ruled that a Texas bishop must deliver a ruling on the eligibility of a lesbian candidate for ordination.
The United Methodist Judicial Council decided that Bishop James Dorff of the UMC Southwest Texas Conference must issue a ruling on whether the Conference's board of ordained ministry acted properly in the removal of Mary Ann Kaiser.
Mary Ann Kaiser was certified as a candidate for deacon in the Alabama-West Florida Annual Conference in 2008. Earlier this year, the Southwest Conference Board of Ordained Ministry refused to certify her candidacy due to her being in a same-sex relationship. In July, Dorff called a request regarding Mary Ann Kaiser "moot."
While the Book of Discipline declares homosexuality "incompatible with Christian teaching" and bars "non-celibate homosexuals" from ordination, many UMC clergy have demanded that such rules be changed." ChristianPost
1) Why do they have female clergy?
2) Why now-is there ANY debate over "lesbian" clergy?
3) Why has the WORLD slipped so far into Christendom?
U can no longer distinguish the world from the churches
Yea, truth faileth;
Isaiah 59:15
