Not all gay ministers are lame-o. I can't recall Gretchen ever
mentioning
sexuality in a sermon. She had more important topics. I most enjoyed
being invited to her house to view and have a theological discussion of
"The Life of Brian."

Of course, it was her (non-gay) replacement that we had to have defrocked
(an uncommon event for the UU ministry). Sounds like your congregation
should have throttled your minister.

I didn't mean to imply that all gay ministers were bad, just this one. It
didn't seem that anyone really objected to his sermons, so I'm not sure he
got put in his place. The place was so political, this may have been what
they wanted, I don't know.

I also should have mentioned that he couldn't sing either. I would
cringe when he would start butcherin' some "Old Negro Spiritual" or some
such. Just awful.

By the way, I'm more of a "Holy Grail" kinda guy.
