Is this what we the Church have come to? I am for reform, but I doubt that this policy will bring any true reform. There are too many gay people in Church who have been faithful, supporters and givers of the Church for this policy to be applied to them. Furthermore, I doubt that the people who did not have the courage or integrity to address this issue forthrightly will now under the pain of lawsuit and penalty somehow find their courage and backbone. This policy is another capitulation and cope out. To limit the sacrament of marriage to MEMBERS only misses a huge opportunity to minister to the un-saved, and unbeliever about the sanctity of marriage and the importance that should be placed on it. As a minister of the Gospel, I am not authorized to marry anyone that I please. I must follow the directions of Scripture. I have declined to marry people who were 'wrongly' divorced, not serious about the commitment involved in marriage, Muslim, marrying a Christian, atheist marrying a Christian and will also decline to perform a 'marriage' for people of the same sex. If the government wants to fine, jail, or sue me, I am prepared to suffer that for the cause of Christ. I will not under any circumstance obey man, in this matter. It is past time for the Church to take a stand, this ruling will finally force the Church to take a side on this very important issue.

A man said "its covered by church law" well evidently he doesn't understand what the OGC is saying...The OGC is saying that a church cannot claim an exemption when their actual practice is contrary to what is written. <br /><br />So will we finally acknowledge the SIN of using folk for their gift while the same folk are on their way to hell? Saints, dancing and shouting all day and in many cases the musician and singers are not saved and on their way to hell. That is ungodly and that is what God is getting to...<br /><br /><b>You ain't no hero when they cart you off to jail bcause you've broken God's law from the beginning...you are a hero for setting God's house in order no matter the cost!</b> District Supt.
