The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted on Thursday to redefine the denominational understanding of marriage and allow its clergy to perform same-sex marriages. Here is the story from the Christian Post:

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s highest governing body voted Thursday to allow ministers to perform same-sex marriages.

Presbyterian clergy can now marry gay and lesbian couples wherever same-sex marriage is legal. …

The PCUSA’s 221st General Assembly, which is meeting in Detroit this week, also approved an amendment to its Book of Order that would change the definition of marriage from one man and one woman to “two persons.” The amendment must be ratified by a majority of the denomination’s presbyteries, or district governing bodies. …

The same-sex marriage votes come three years after the PCUSA voted to allow the ordination of gay and lesbian clergy.

Response: The 2014 General Assembly of the PCUSA, which is the largest Presbyterian denomination in America, has made a clear decision where their church will stand on homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and the Bible. The conference voted to abandon traditional Biblical teaching on marriage, accept a more liberal view of scripture, and go along with the American cultural flow.

Like I have written before, every American church will sooner or later be forced to make a decision about homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Yesterday the PCUSA made their choice.             *Top
