  • Defrocked Gay Pastor Returns to Pulpit

    LongTimeMember »
    Wed Aug 15, 2007 8:57 am Agree: 2   Disagree: 6

    I am a 25+ year member of St. John's. I'm not gay. I've been a Lutheran since birth.

    Reasonable, God-fearing, truth-seeking, Bible-studying, thoughtful Christians can disagree on whether homosexuality in a loving, committed, lifelong relationship is a sin or not. Assuming that it is a sin, but since we're all sinners, reasonable people can also disagree whether this sin prevents one from begin called as a pastor. Examples of these reasonable people abound.

    In our church, we try hard not to judge, just as Jesus has commanded. We try to welcome everyone as a child of God and who longs and needs a relationship with God and his only Son.

    St. John's isn't known for its bake sales. It's known for being a wonderful, loving faith community where people grow in their faith and serve others. The most amazing faith community I've ever been a part of. I'm convinced that my pastor has been called by God to be a pastor.
