When the Presbyterian Church  took the progressive approach  our small town church voted to  leave the Presbytery.  Overall,  I don't think it has worked out too well.   We started by loosing  2 younger couples  with children... we needed them.    We seem to have a reputation as an unwelcoming church now.   Young  people who did not grow up in our church  are  not willing to enter the church.   We are not against   LGBT  attending and joining our church  but not in favor of them having  leadership  in our church.    Small town/church  dynamics  are dividing our church right now.    We are dying  again.     It is very hard to for the same  people to do all the work which includes  reaching out to the people of our community while  still trying to maintain  church programs. 

All have sinned and come  short of the glory of God.

All sins are wrong.   We here on the earth have decided to rate which are worse.   But,  to covet  is just as bad as killing to God.  

Both my husband and I have cousins who are homosexual.   They are all good people.   I don't want them and their children banned from attending a church and learning about God.   Not that long ago  teenage pregnancy,  living together and divorce  were reasons for people to be kicked out of church.     We can love and welcome the sinner while  hating the sin. 

Maybe  all organized  churches  will end up dying    But,  then who will educate and provide support for the clergy?  .
