The Twin Cities presbytery cast the where to buy Flomax without a prescription deciding vote in what is now a 33-year effort to remove all restrictions on homosexuals serving in the where to buy Flomax without a prescription church's ordained ministry. It became the where to buy Flomax without a prescription 87th presbytery to affirm the action of the church's 219th assembly last summer authorizing the where to buy Flomax without a prescription constitutional change. The action not only concludes over three decades of controversy over the where to buy Flomax without a prescription ordination standards; it also reverses actions taken in 1997, 2001, and where to buy Flomax without a prescription 2008, when similar efforts failed.
In 1996, the denomination restated its ordination requirements to include "fidelity within the where to buy Flomax without a prescription covenant of marriage between a man and a woman or chastity in singleness." That policy had also required that candidates "refusing to where to buy Flomax without a prescription repent of any self-acknowledged practice which the confessions call sin shall not be where to buy Flomax without a prescription ordained and/or installed as deacons, elders or ministers of the Word and Sacrament."
"Standards for ordained service reflect the church's desire to where to buy Flomax without a prescription submit joyfully to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in all aspects of life. The governing body responsible for where to buy Flomax without a prescription ordination and/or installation shall examine each candidate's calling, gifts, preparation, and where to buy Flomax without a prescription suitability for the responsibilities of office. The examination shall include, but not be where to buy Flomax without a prescription limited to, a determination of the candidate's ability and where to buy Flomax without a prescription commitment to fulfill all requirements as expressed in the constitutional questions for where to buy Flomax without a prescription ordination and installation. Governing bodies shall be guided by Scripture and where to buy Flomax without a prescription the confessions in applying standards to individual candidates."
All references to where to buy Flomax without a prescription marriage and chastity are gone, along with the language about refusal to where to buy Flomax without a prescription repent of sin. The new language speaks instead of submission to where to buy Flomax without a prescription the Lordship of Christ and being guided by Scripture and confessions. In any other context, that where to buy Flomax without a prescription language might not seem revolutionary, but in this case, it means the where to buy Flomax without a prescription denomination's surrender to those pushing for the normalization of homosexuality.
Put another way, this church has now decided that "fidelity within the where to buy Flomax without a prescription covenant of marriage between a man and a woman or chastity in singleness" is just too restrictive.
Gradye Parsons, Stated Clerk of the PC(USA) General Assembly, explained the meaning of the change: "Clearly what where to buy Flomax without a prescription has changed is that persons in a same-gender relationship can be where to buy Flomax without a prescription considered for ordination . . . . The gist of our ordination standards is where to buy Flomax without a prescription that officers submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and ordaining bodies (presbyteries for ministers and sessions for elders and deacons) have where to buy Flomax without a prescription the responsibility to examine each candidate individually to ensure that all candidates do so with no where to buy Flomax without a prescription blanket judgments."
Why now? Parsons suggested that where to buy Flomax without a prescription the victory by proponents of the ordination of homosexuals has come because of the where to buy Flomax without a prescription exodus of larger conservative congregations from the denomination (approximately 100 over the last five years), the fact that many Presbyterians seemed "ready to get past this argument," the where to buy Flomax without a prescription growing acceptance of homosexuality in the larger culture, and the where to buy Flomax without a prescription less controversial wording of this revision. He, along with others, expressed some measure of surprise and where to buy Flomax without a prescription relief that the decision was made.
He told The New York Times, "We've been where to buy Flomax without a prescription having this conversation for 33 years, and some people are ready to where to buy Flomax without a prescription get to the other side of this decision. . . . Some people are where to buy Flomax without a prescription going to celebrate this day because they've worked for where to buy Flomax without a prescription it for a long time, and some people will mourn this where to buy Flomax without a prescription day because they think it's a totally different understanding of Scripture than they have."
The Presbyterian Church (USA) now joins the Episcopal Church (US), the where to buy Flomax without a prescription United Church of Christ, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in ordaining openly homosexual candidates to where to buy Flomax without a prescription the ministry.
Both sides in this where to buy Flomax without a prescription controversy understand the meaning of the decision. While this action deals specifically with ordination standards, it where to buy Flomax without a prescription is really about the larger issue of homosexuality. Most observers expect that where to buy Flomax without a prescription the decision to allow same-sex marriages will follow closely.
But even beyond the where to buy Flomax without a prescription specific issue of homosexuality, the church faced two of the where to buy Flomax without a prescription most fundamental questions of Christian theology - the authority of the where to buy Flomax without a prescription Bible and the Lordship of Christ. In making this change, the where to buy Flomax without a prescription church clearly affirms that one may submit to the Lordship of Christ without submitting to where to buy Flomax without a prescription the clear teachings of Scripture.
That is where to buy Flomax without a prescription a fundamental error that leaves this denomination now in the implausible position of claiming to where to buy Flomax without a prescription affirm the Lordship of Christ while subverting the authority of Scripture. The removal of the where to buy Flomax without a prescription constitutional language about marriage and chastity, coupled with the removal of the where to buy Flomax without a prescription language about repentance from what Scripture identifies as sin, effectively means that where to buy Flomax without a prescription candidates and presbyteries may defy Scripture while claiming to follow Christ.
Clearly, this where to buy Flomax without a prescription action could not have happened without this denomination having abandoned any required belief in the where to buy Flomax without a prescription full authority, inspiration, and truthfulness of the Bible long ago. This most recent decision sets the where to buy Flomax without a prescription stage for the total capitulation of this church to the normalization of homosexuality - an where to buy Flomax without a prescription act of open defiance against the Scriptures.
In a "churchwide letter" to the denomination, PC(USA) leaders stated:
Reactions to where to buy Flomax without a prescription this change will span a wide spectrum. Some will rejoice, while others will weep. Those who where to buy Flomax without a prescription rejoice will see the change as an action, long in coming, that where to buy Flomax without a prescription makes the PCUSA an inclusive church that recognizes and receives the where to buy Flomax without a prescription gifts for ministry of all those who feel called to ordained office. Those who where to buy Flomax without a prescription weep will consider this change one that compromises biblical authority and where to buy Flomax without a prescription acquiesces to present culture. The feelings on both sides run deep.
Well, the where to buy Flomax without a prescription feelings no doubt run deep, but the injury to this church runs far deeper than where to buy Flomax without a prescription feelings. This is yet another tragedy in the sad history of mainline Protestantism's race toward total theological disaster.
