Here is some background regarding my third-party anger issues. My bride was ordained as a minister in the Church of God Anderson Indiana in 2009. Subsequently, she earned both a Masters of Divinity and a Doctor of Ministry degrees. She has always felt that her ministry strength was in pastoral care, and being her partner for the past 13 years, I wholeheartedly agree. Two years ago some #CHOG Anderson members put together a petition urging the church to be affirming to #LGBTQ members. For church leaders, this was a bridge too far, and they took the draconian step of revoking the credentials of all ordained ministers who signed the petition, including my bride. After our move to #Tennessee Sarah was hopeful that she could start over again with a new domination. As it turns out, though, because she is no longer ordained, in most every denomination, she would have to start the whole process over again from scratch. So, essentially, all she went through to get ordained in the first place, and even her two advanced academic degrees, don’t mean squat. I have seen her try so hard to live out her calling as she has seen it, and to see it all ripped away from her is almost unbearable. And all for the unpardonable sin *sarcasm* of supporting a plea for her church, the one she grew up in, should be more affirming. Needless to say, I’m not terribly happy with organized church in general right now.
