Grace UMC in Dallas picked a theological fight with a giant Baptist congregation over the issue of homosexuality. The Baptist preacher had preached “Gay is not OK” and little Grace came back with the retort “Why gay is OK.”
Now the North Texas UMC bishop has been drawn into the issue. As the newspaper blog put it, he writes “Gay is not exactly OK.”

The doctrine of original sin is surely more humbling to man than the opposite: And I know not what honour we can pay to God, if we think man came out of His hands in the condition wherein he is now.
