Previously, they required employees to either be in heterosexual marriages or to abstain from sexual activity.

I think many people and more churches have forgotten that their job is to teach, to provide a place for other Christians to meet in fellowship and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They seem to have taken on dealing in doling out punishment and judgment when Christ clearly states that God will judge us.

I have a friend who struggles because a third friend is gay and she doesn't approve. She asked me what I thought and was a bit shocked when I said it made no difference to me, that I felt like it was not my job to judge this woman or to condemn her. Who am I to judge?

MY late daughter summed it up about some of the parents of her classmates who were always condemning others. She told me their halos were too tight and kept them from thinking properly. I think perhaps we need some halo oil to make those halos not pinch the blood supply off on the stiff-necked and overly pious.
