Episcopal Diocese Ordains Gay Deacon
The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego took another step toward the full acceptance of gays with the ordination of its first openly gay deacon.

I feel sorry for the ladies who fought to become ordained ministers only to have themselves compared to a blasphemy.
Men and Woman are to minister to people yes as each sex is to deal with their own; when dealing with deep personal issues to prevent illicit relationships from developing.
This is different then telling people that a gay minister is not a sinner and that we need to listen to him because he has a deep walk with God and is following in Godly foot steps.
The man is a full blown sinner in one of the worst sins. How can one be close to God and have deep communion with God, when they have not confessed the sin repented of it and chosen to walk a pure life? If that person comes to Gods alter he is shunned by God.
I will be accused of being many things for this, but if you profess to live by Gods word and dedicate your life to him, yet refuse to change your ways how can or why should you be allowed to be a minister? I know ministers are of flesh like the rest of us and make mistakes and sin just like you and I. The difference is what you do after you sin. Do you make amends or just keep doing it. The Gay minister just choses to keep sinning and we are supposed to say it is ok. I was confronted and helped to mend my ways by a male minister who I likely owe my path to heaven to. Would have the same thing happened if he was as big of sinner as I I doubt it becuase the Holy spirit would have never come to strengthen me when needed as we would have been block to its communications due to our sins and sinful hearts.
