While many denominations are duking out over the nature of the atonement or the meaning of justification, the real issues are being overlooked. Should the Church be inclusive enough to let transgenders be pastors IS a real issue. Recently the Rt. Rev. Ann Gordon decided that being a woman wasn’t who God created her to be. (How silly of God to make a mistake like that!) Now she, excuse me, he is the Rt. Rev. Drew Pheonix. If you want the whole story go here.
I personally think she should have left her (Sorry!!!! I mean his) name, Ann, and just added the Drew. Ann-Drew is a good name, I think. I guess this brings a whole new meaning to Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors. Thankful for her…aaaarrrrrghhh, why do I keep doing that…HIM, the Untited Methodists’ Book of Discipline has nothing to say about transgender clergy. (One wonders if the Book of Discipline has anything to say about anything) Drew, it appears, is off the hook, that is, unless the one who wrote the real Book of Discipline has anything to say.
“Abject Silliness”
-Would that kind of entail the drive of this blog?
“Open Doors”
-You forgot “to Satan”
-Does the United Methodists’ Book of Discipline have penile codes?
