The Prebyterian church just passed the ok to allow non-celibate but in a committed relationship homosexuals into the clergy. This is certainly cause for joy.
So why do I not feel it. Why is there the feeling of exasperation?
Probably because I don't feel there should be any argument. My own church (Episcopal) is splitting down the middle over the issue. The UCC and the Lutherans (well, some of them) are in the middle of the fray. All because of the nature of humans to not want to accept what cannot be easily explained.
So a couple of statements were made in a fairly important book a long, long time ago. With those statements, individuals have been alienated, persecuted and outcast.
Isn't it time to put it to rest?

All are equal in the eyes of God and The Christ. Unfortunately, the institutions run by ever-fallible humans just can't seem to get it together. As people of the New Covenant, we need to realize that, even though -- hopefully -- God-inspired, both Old and New Testaments were created, chosen, edited and translated by human beings.
