William K. Gowins 1402594380June 12, 2014 1:33 PM My opinion has nothing to do with an individuals sexual preference. I do believe homosexuality to be a sin but I do not judge. I have many friends that are gay. As brothers and sisters they still deserve the dignity and respect afforded to anyone else. As for ordination, I would not attend any church with an actively homosexual leader no more than one who's pastor is straight and addicted to pornography, committing adultery, etc. As for marriage, our government is allowing such unions, however, as a church our mandate should be to follow scripture. If the government wants to allow these unions so be it. There is a means for them to have a civil union. I ask this, however, where as a society do we draw the line? I was in law enforcement for 18 years and saw all walks of life. I had this discussion with a fellow Moravian last week. When an incestuous couple comes before the church or even our government are those unions going to be allowed as well. Would we then not be discriminating against them if such unions are not allowed. Our government seems to have a problem drawing the line but we as a church should not.

Anonymous 1402437060June 10, 2014 5:51 PM I'm presenting a petition to the MCNP Synod that we no longer listen to the words if imbeciles who would be better suited at Westboro Baptist - please sign and then jump of a cliff.

Joseph Patashinsky 1402065120June 6, 2014 10:32 AM I understand that we are all sinners in life but Christ made it very clear about this issue. This would be the same as allowing a Minister to commit adultery every night while teaching God's word. Why not allow a murderer become a Minister who continues to commit murder while preaching God's word. Yes, Christ teaches to forgive the sinner but not forgive the sin. If this gets approved, my family will leave the Moravian Church. There are no other interpretation of God's word than what is clear in the Bible. Christ made no changes that allows the sin of immoral sexual deviance.

Janet Shanklin 1399138020May 3, 2014 1:27 PM We are all sinners, including our church leaders according to our "Chief Elder", God! It is not our job to glorify any sins and it scares me that our church denomination would take any stance that is against God! We are taught to "Go and sin no more." This is very clear to me..... I do not want to be a part of glorifying sin!

Jeff Stocker 1398526860April 26, 2014 11:41 AM First, please read Matt:18:6. Then, realize that what is currently happening in our province is the indoctrination of our children to accept a sinful lifestyle as acceptable and "holy". Are you willing to wager your salvation that homosexuality is not a sin??
