My denomination is now the behindest.

Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) approves change in ordination standard
‘submission to the lordship of jesus christ’ replaces ‘fidelity and chastity’
Yeah, I have lots of thoughts about that :D

"Then I'm--whatever! Dust in the wind. Candle in the wind. There'll be a general wind theme." -Faith in "Orpheus" (Angel 4.15)
