United Methodists allow pastors to have sex change operation
There is an article in today's Toledo Blade that I found interesting.......
http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll...030380/-1/NEWS
Can I copy and paste the entire article on here, admin???
It talks about the United Methodist Church deciding that a minister who had a sex change operation can still maintain their credentials and continue to pastor a church.
Frankly, I'm not sure I would be comfortable having a pastor who had undergone a sex change operation.
What do you think???

Only if he/she/it is changing (back) to the original gender.

Even then I couldn't be comfortable with he/she/it. The Bible says that "a double minded man is unstable in all his ways". Ooooo boy!! I think that would apply here. hehehehe

The Methodist movement of our day is a far cry from the Wesleyan Methodism of Old,with the United Methodist denomination being the most liberal.
