A Question Before Me

Question: can a Presbyterian Church (USA) pastor--who has been ordained for 25 years, served eight churches as pastor or interim pastor while working as a seminary professor, writer, and entrepreneur, raised a family of two kids and two dogs, along with a former wife and living in an open, committed relationship with another man for 13 years, traveled around the world, written 8 published books, with two more under contract, numerous articles, preached and presented papers before thousands of people--be an interim pastor in a church--where God has called him through an extensive search process and affirmation by the Committee on Ministry--that is located in what the church members call a "conservative town" in northern North Carolina?

Yes. I've learned again that the Spirit of God will blow wherever the Spirt wills. Such is the Spirit of Love.

Pace!

It's a blessing the ever widening acceptance of all God's children.
