Yes, sorry, I keep doing that. I think that it works now.

Thanks for sharing that. I am not surprised (having attended university of that denomination). It's one of the more progressive Protestant denominations.

It was an interesting read. I would love to have a conversation with the opposing side here. Further down there were comments that the decision would actually make a schism more likely. I actually understand their logic, but they just have got to realize at some point that the schizm already is a fact and that they're going to have to face it sooner or later. If the trials had continued going forward then groups would have likely split off in protest, and in the very near future at that. This way they have at least bought some time to talk things over.

Good, now let's bang a punch or 2 on some Catholic Hierarchs heads yes, yes?

I seriously need them to chanmge their minds, you do that, and several countries at once will be LGBT heavens
