Cal Thomas picked up a good quote: "If you're a heterosexual clergyman and you're having sex outside marriage, you can be expelled. But if you're a homosexual clergyman having sex outside marriage, they rejoice." Link

Meanwhile, the ELCA biennial general assembly next week will consider what year it will debate ordaining sexually active gays and lesbians and whether to institute same-sex blessing ceremonies. Link
