The Ordination of Homosexuals
Just like any other person who feels lik they are being called to preach the Word of the Lord. Should we ordain open homosexuals who feel called to lead the church? Please explain your why or why not!
Please help me out!! I would really appriciate your opinions on this touchy subject!!

I'm sternly opposed to randomly ordaining homosexuals regardless of whether or not they have asked to be ordained. I find the practice of randomly ordaining to be intrusive and uncalled for.

If it was up to me i would allow anyone with sincere belief in God and who wanted to be ordained to be so, but then i don't base my moral opinions on those of 3,000 year old bigoted text writers.

GIven the fact that perhaps every church or religion of man has "ordained" homosexuals in the past, I see no reason why it is even an issue. Priestly types are just able to come out of the closet now. Big deal, really. I do not understand why heterosexual people would be the slightest bit surprised lol. Hmmm. Men who like to hang out with other men in an all male environment... for the love of their father? *Imagines Freud giggling in his grave*

It would be interesting to see what percentage of the existing ordainee's are in fact gay anyway... I am led to believe it is higher than the population average...by quite a margin.

I've been in and around seminaries for the past eight years, and the ones that I've been at had about 10% homosexuals.

I think it's incredibly sad that if a person wants to worship and lead others to a loving god, their sexuality has to come into the equation of their competency.
