Lutherans Vote to Allow Gay Clergy in Same-Gender Relationships

From MSNBC:
Clergy members who are in homosexual relationships will be able to serve as pastors, the largest U.S. Lutheran body said Saturday.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America passed a resolution at its annual assembly urging bishops to refrain from disciplining pastors who are in “faithful committed same-gender relationships.”

The resolution passed by a vote of 538-431.

Another step forward in God's Kin-dom.

Nearer to the "tipping point"! Amen!

I'm so happy for the friends I have who are there celebrating at this moment!
