The local members of the Church have made a serious error if the let Mr. Pomfret live in sin and grant him the dignity of God's forgiveness.<BR/><BR/>The Gospel is the Word of life and of healing. Mr. Pomfret was denied the chance at healing until now. I hope that he can make his way out of the homosexual life. It's really not good for people; I know, I was in it for over thirty years.<BR/><BR/>Also, Mr. Pomfret removed himself from the Shrine. He wasn't kicked out. He decided to leave when he was asked to repent. I know how the Church works.<BR/><BR/>There's so much error in the way this has been reported. What's really going on is that the Church is finally applying what it teaches to people, not out of anger or condemnation but out of love for the sinner.outnawayzhttp://openid.aol.com/outnawayznoreply@blogger.com
