Despite serious differences in views on homosexuality within the church, the church delegates voted to affirm the ban on gay clergy. The entire idea was that it was causing to much division within the church and it would be better to keep the church unified. I think if its going to cause bad problems within the church, and your church defines homosexuality as wrong, then gay clergy should not be allowed on the basis of church belief and church unity. They made the right choice in my opinion, siting the church benefit as a whole instead of individual differences.
