More Sexist Hogwash

"Missed the boat" was in reference to the Church and to the Pastor who filed the dimsissal orders.

Playing Devil's Advocate in a church matter..... is that an oxymoron?

Not in the least Cap, but I grew up in the WELS, another church group routinely accused of being "discriminatory". If you don't agree with the teachings, there are other church's you can belong to, or not. I don't think it's sexist at all. It's no different than an ultra liberal church approving/condoning gay or lesbian marriage, something I will never accept, hence the reason I will never belong to a church that recognizes that.
I could argue against the point this church is making, but won't. I will simply say that I won't be joining that denomination, either.

What is WELS?

What is WELS?

Cap, it's the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. I should also clarify that the WELS does allow women to teach, both Sunday school and parochial, they don't allow them to be pastors, though. My mom has taught in the synod for over 25 years now. The link below is the web-site of the synod.

Good one 27. : )

Apparently he has not bothered to read the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII. I hope she gets her job back and the church fires him.

Title VII does not supercede the First Amendment.

The church has the right whether anyone agrees with or not. Now if the congregation decides that he is wrong, they may fire him.

It is their situation.
