A Christian renewal group says by electing an open homosexual to be its leader,
an alliance of North Carolina churches has undermined its own
purpose.
The North Carolina Council of Churches has chosen
an open homosexual as its president-elect. He is 55-year-old Stan Kimer, a
lay leader in the Metropolitan Community Church, which consists largely of
homosexuals and lesbians.
According to its website, the purpose of the
ecumenical organization is to promote "Christian unity." But the vote in favor
of Kimer, says Alan Wisdom of the Washington, DC-based Institute on Religion & Democracy, accomplishes just the
opposite.
"All major branches of
the Christian church -- the Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, the
evangelicals, the African-Americans, the historic Protestant denominations for
the most part -- agree that God's standard of sexual morality is the marriage of
man and woman and that homosexual relationships are not in accord with Christian
teaching," he explains. (Selection of 'gay'
leader no step toward Christian unity)
