I asked who was equating the Holy Family with any discussion about same sex unions and coachrev wrote:
Hmm, Jeffrey Johnson, one of those expelled in 1989 and recently re-admitted to the ELCA roster, for one. Back in 1994, I wrote a rebuttal article that was published in the (then) Great Commission Network's newsletter.
I respond:
Of course, I was asking who here, in this forum, was doing that, not what someone who was not on the ELCA clergy roster said 16 years ago. Some of us do not yank out decades-old declarations clearly indicating a pathological homophobia and if we did so, today's "traditionalists" would say: "Well! I don't believe that!" So let's keep the discussion current.
