And the Churches React Re: Controversial Newsweek Cover Calls Obama ''The First Gay President''

Interesting article in the New York Times.

Salient quotation from a Lutheran minister’s sermon: “As Lutherans,” she preached, “we don’t give each part of the Bible equal weight. Luther described the Bible as ‘the cradle of Christ.’ The whole book contains the story of God, but some parts touch the baby more closely than others.” [This after the usual business of talking about Leviticus and shellfish etc]

Here’s a thought: is there any correlation between the willingness of a given part of the Christian church to ordain women and its willingness to accept gays?
