(CBS Charlotte/AP)- A local church has elected to stop performing marriage ceremonies for straight couples until same-sex marriage is legalized.In a statement posted on the front page of their website, officials at the Green Street United Methodist Church said that they ask other churches to join in the movement to “refuse to sign any State marriage licenses until this right is granted to same- sex couples.”The statement added, “Because the United Methodist Church prohibits its pastors from conducting same-sex weddings, excluding gay and lesbian couples from the holy sacrament of marriage, the Leadership Council has asked the pastor to refrain from conducting wedding ceremonies in our sanctuary for straight couples, until the denomination lifts its ban for same-sex couples.”In the full version of their statement - publicly posted on their website – the church asks that services such as premarital counseling be offered to couples of all orientations, in addition to other couple-specific services.“We ask that our pastors, at their discretion, [also] offer to all couples regardless of orientation a Service of Relationship Blessing in the Sanctuary of Green Street Church,” the statement notes.http://charlotte.cbs...riage-is-legal/The Great Apostasy rolls on.... It will never happen in my church. My pastor would go to jail first before marring a same sex couple. This "church" you are talking about has nothing to do with the Body Of Christ. They are an abomination and God will deal with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I wonder how that does not get condemnation for being a very loaded and offensive remark? Probably because we are about Biblical support and not humanism!

One can't lump all Methodists in with these totally delusional people. Calling other believers 'useless' is unchristian, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One folded. The other one preached the Gospel about 8 years ago. A friend attended it in memory of her best friend, and then she comes to our service afterward. But since their pastors are rotated, I have not heard about the current one. Just saying that God has left a remnant among them. Personally, if I had to walk to church, I am between the Episcopal and its female priestess, and the Word of Faith. Feel like being between the devil and the deep blue sea since I do not agree with the teaching of either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
