Committing the Church to Biblical Standards

[The Christian Post] May 10, 2005--Exactly a year ago, the United Methodist Church reaffirmed its commitment to biblical standards by upholding several statements prohibiting the ministry of active homosexuals. Those resolutions are warmly and cautiously worded to show both the church’s openness to gays and lesbians and the denomination’s austerity toward sin.

But last month, those resolutions were set aside as the church’s appellate court ruled in favor of a self-avowed lesbian minister who had earlier been stripped of her ministerial credentials for violating church law.
