Just a couple comments on Rev. Harrison's response. 1. He still clings to the misconception that homosexuality is a "preference." This is a notion which has been completely rejected by the medical and psychological profession. 2. When he calls this decision a "blatant rejection of the entire history of humankind and its practice of marriage," he is ignoring the Biblical, as well as multicultural practice of polygamy and/or arranged marriages. 3. When he says, "We confess that God’s divine law of marriage and the entire Ten Commandments apply to all," he is forgetting the fact that the church has for many years ignored Jesus' words which say that anyone who divorces and remarries is committing adultery, and that anyone who works on the sabbath should be put to death. Who has the splinter in their eye and who has the beam?
