And back to this thread...
Many (if not most) UCCers do not believe that the Scriptures forbid all homosexuals and all homosexual practices. In other words, the few passages that may speak to it (Romans, Corinthians, etc) are not speaking about all relationships but rather, when understood in the correct context, are speaking to either homosexual rape and/or homosexuality in the context of idolatry. Thus, a faithful, committed and monogamous gay relationship is not condemned in Scripture... so people in such relationships are not sinning (well, not anymore than all of us, ordained or not, sin in day to day life).
