How do the various Eastern Orthodox churches view people in homosexual relationships? "Cool - better than being straight" - "no big deal" - "tolerated" - "tolerated but they can't serve in high church office" - "SINNER!!!!" - "PURGE THEM FROM THE CHURCH!!!!" or something I didn't mention. I don't know of any mainline church in the US that is at either of the two extremes I mentioned, they are there "for effect" only (I hope). There may be some non-mainstream churches in the US, churches outside the US, or churches in times past who did either the "cool" or "purge" bit. -David ("d") |
