Progressive Church Looks To Make LGBTQ Affirmation Mandatory For Clergy

According to a recent article in World, a major American denomination could soon make "affirming" LGBTQ ideology mandatory for clergy.

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA) voted nearly two to one to effectively require candidates for ministry to endorse homosexuality and related practices if they wish to be ordained.

Though the motion still must be approved by the various presbyteries around the nation, given the strong showing at the national level and the denomination's high marks from pro-LGBTQ groups, it will likely be made official.

As one of the more theologically liberal Reformed groups, the PCUSA has been drifting in this direction for some time. More remarkable is how quickly and thoroughly the official position of the denomination has been reversed.

Another sign we are closer to being caught up to meet The Lord in the air.
Apostasy is growing just as scripture says must happen in a great falling away and then the Restrainer is taken out of the way.
Yes, come Lord Jesus

2 "Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way"
2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, 6-7
