Same sex marriage in our church sanctuary is the main issue, urged by our new pastor. The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America says that each congregation can decide the matter, based on "conscience-bound belief". How democratic of God to put His laws up to popular vote. (I wonder how He handles ties--is the devil the tie-breaker?)
It seems that our new pastor is bound and determined to push same-sex marriage all the way, even it it splits our church in two. Maybe that's been the plan all along. Maybe there's something to the rumors that she's trying to establish the best little LGBT church in Arkansas. Maybe those of us opposed should just shut up and accept our role as collateral damage.
In this episode I elaborate on recent developments, including the decision my wife and I have made to put and end to our support and move on and find a church that still believes in God, the Bible, Heaven, hell, and Jesus Christ.Pete Ferron
