Gay pastor gets job after all
The Bishop of Oslo, who's maintained a conservative stand against gay pastors in the state church, has backed down, and now will grant a ministry to a pastor who's living in a gay partnership.
Bishop Ole Christian Kvarme's decision earlier this month to deny a pastor's position to Svein G Josefsen sparked wide debate when it became known last week.
Were these scriptures thought of when making this decision--
1 Timothy 3:2-5--"The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; one that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)"
Also Romans 1:27
