The Associated Press reported yesterday that another effort to allow gays and lesbians to serve as clergy in the Presbyterian Church was defeated on Saturday.
Though I'm an atheist, I did grow up going to church and I eventually became a member of the Presbyterian Church. I haven't been to church in years (hence the atheism), but I am somewhat surprised that the Presbyterians are still dragging their feet on this issue. I thought they were a bit more progressive than that.
The AP story did add this quote: “The tide is turning before our very eyes in understanding that GLBT men and women are loved by God and called to ministry,” said the Rev. Janet Edwards, co-moderator of More Light Presbyterians, which supports changing the ordination standards. “The church is catching up with the love Jesus has for all God’s children.”
I guess not enough of them is catching up with Jesus's love yet.

New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #191
Fluffy suddenly realized this was not the best way
to test his "pigs are dumber than horses" theory.
The above is the cartoon for New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest for week #191. Let me know if you come up with a caption. I just couldn't come up with anything for this one. I'm not happy with this caption at all. It is weak, but let me know if you come up with somehthing better. I shouldn't be difficult to beat this one. Click on the link to enter your caption.
