| Im more interested in how to minister to certain people who are in situations thst are new to culture. For instance a woman who once was a man attended our church and a Unitarian Church. He/she was torn because he/she realized the mistake and wanted acceptance and victory over the consequential depression. We ministered to this person and made he/she feel welcome and not awkward. How does this person repent and is there a pathway to ministry for this person?Another time we had a 7 year old girl who thought she should be a boy. Her liberal parents supported this, allowed her to dress like a boy and we're in beginning phase of hormone therapy research. Additionally they had no problem at all if this girl grew up to become lesbian. I shared that this was incompatible with being a member and minister. I recommended Christian counseling so she could get to the root and embrace the person that God created her to be.As far as bathrooms - a transgender person who truly looks the part likely has already been using restroom of choice. Now predators have governmental permission to join in.These are issues that as a movement we are largely quiet about, have zero resolutions on, and no supporting symposiums or materials to help us in the field. Hence I think it's s missed opportunity to clarify not only our stance but practical practices of ministry. |

| There is coming a day in the CoG that a minister cannot have certain credentials unless he has a degree. I am all for more education but not to the extent that requires a degree to reach a certain level of ministry. If this had been the case 100 years ago there would be no CoG. It is a miracle those ignorant preachers built such a church. Since they did not have proper credentials, they must have had some help. |
