California church changes policy, allows openly gay members — A popular evangelical Christian church in San Francisco announced a change in church policy on Friday, stating that LGBT members no longer need to remain celibate. (Has something happened in recent years, such as an unreported re-visitation of Christ, or some clearly anointed prophet who, with unequivocal signs of God’s endorsement, has ushered in teachings which have done away with New Testament precepts? I think not. So, we are simply looking at "church leaders" caving in to "political correctness." Is it not obvious that these decisions have nothing to do with God?)
