Writing on a position of faith.

In listening and watching this documentary about the placement of an openly homosexual man into the priesthood of the U.C.C., I was first moved by the request from William Johnson's mother and the continued pro-placement argument throughout the clips: that homosexuality should not bar a well qualified person from joining the priest-hood. The argument one speaker makes that Johnson should be removed from his position of priest-hood "because of his disorientation", a phrase which amused me greatly, lost its humor when I found that the man was dead serious. How can someone be so narrow minded? The worries some express about if he were to serve as a councilor at a youth camp also proved to be baseless as statistics I pulled up illustrated to me: sexual misconduct is far more prevalent among HETEROsexuals than HOMOsexuals (including those who identify as heterosexual though commit homosexual acts). The personal testaments that some members gave about how they'd like or not like Johnson as a priest were also very stirring as they went back and forth. The personal discomfort one jerk of a woman told the camera was off-set by the clear head provided by another woman and the cheer that went up when Johnson was voted in as a priest illustrated the clear mind those members voting had: of 96 voters, a strong majority agreed that Johnson should be made a priest, no matter his sexual orientation. And that is following along the lines of the teachings of acceptance of the Lord.
