I am so disappointed to read some of the comments on this board. I'd like to think that we all live in the present century and we all know enough about biology to know that to condemn homosexuality as a sin is absolutely ridiculous. I've seen statements here saying that the bible is very clear in that it is a sin but it seems to me that if we take biblical text out of the context of the times in which they were written or even the context of the intended message, then we are merely parsing the text to support our own prejudices.
Presbyterians ought to be leaders in civil rights issues and this is clearly a civil rights issue.
I do not see how anyone can stand by and allow the church to be supportive of banning gays from ordination anymore than i can see how anyone could ever have used scripture to defend slavery.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
