It seems the church does

not allow dissenting views.

National leaders of the Episcopal Church have ousted 61 clergy who aligned with a former bishop in California when he broke with the national church in a dispute over the Bible and homosexuality.

Oh oh, this old Church Chestnut. Lo independence carries such a burden, lol

Well at least one church has admitted to a big problem concerning our Gay buddies and the damning passages in the old testament's. This whole argument could of been halted if the Judaism was totally removed from the actual true foundation of a real Christian religion seeming being the path that the Philosopher Jesus wished his followers to take. Throw out the old cruel religion for the new one related only in two testaments within the new testaments seen within this bastardized form of Judaism wrongly termed Christianity.

Yes the Gays in our society would not have any problems if the correct path of Christ teaching had been adopted by the Roman Empire but no Constantine wanted a religion that could muster troops into battle with a promise that a God was on their side.

Jesus Christ did not spread hatred about gays his idea of Christianity was very different than we see today.

Of course this midway between Catholicism and Protestant Church has the biggest struggle about Gay rights.

158, churches are allowed to decide what they believe and what is required of their members to believe if they want to be priests.

There is no requirement of "tolerance", as such.

Every group has lines you cannot cross without being expelled.

As a point of information, it has been Gene Robinson, a bishop in the Episcopal Church, that has marched ahead with his message of love learned from Christ.  As a gay man, he shows great courage in speaking out.  The man received death threats before one gathering, so he proceeded while wearing a bullet-proof vest!  How many of us would do that?
