Church Of Scotland Votes To Allow Ministers To Be In Same-sex Marriages by sofreedomains: 6:04pm On May 21, 2016 |
The church’s general assembly, which opened in Edinburgh on Saturday, voted in favour of extending a law passed last May that permits ministers to be in same-sex civil partnerships. The decision, after years of deliberation, means the church maintains the traditional view marriage as between a man and woman, but allows individual congregations to “opt-out” if they wish to appoint a minister or deacon in a same-sex marriage or civil partnership. Any wider consideration of the theological understanding of same-sex marriage will not take place until the Theological Forum presents its report to the church next year. More than 850 commissioners from across Scotland, the rest of the UK, Africa, Asia, North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean registered to attend this year’s assembly, which began with a ceremony at the Assembly Hall attended by Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon. The opening saw the appointment of a new Moderator, after the Right Rev Dr Angus Morrison stood down from the 12-month role. He was replaced by the Rev Dr Russell Barr, the founder of Edinburgh-based homelessness charity Fresh Start. Morrison said he felt a “sense of gratitude, relief and heartfelt appreciation” as he left the post, while Barr said his predecessor was a “great ambassador for the Church of Scotland”. http://www.sofreedomains.com/2016/05/church-of-scotland-votes-to-allow.html |

The west, Europe is dead. Satanists and New Age luciferians have succeeded in embedding themselves into all spheres of society. The Greek and Roman civilizations collapsed after they became gay tolerant. Can't wait for Putin to nuke all of Western Europe after the Muslim vermin take over. 1 Like |

ShinnBet: African mentality. This same westerners brought Christianity to you that you now act like God himself. The are ahead of you in all positive spheres of life. So don't act as if you know anything. Sometimes I wonder if some black men have black brains as well. |

See am not in support of gay marriage not at all, but criminalising homosexuality is what am against If same sex relationship is a crime then to be fair adultery, funication, incent, drinking too much should also be a crime too But gay marriage redefines humanity, but what ever two adults do when alone should not be my business as far as it is Not rape My thoughts tho 1 Like |
