The congregation at Fremont Presbyterian Church in Sacramento has voted to leave the Presbyterian Church USA because the latter has endorsed the ordination of gays and lesbians.
Fremont has a special place in my history. I was a member. Both of my sisters were members and my youngest sister was married in the church. The youth pastor at Fremont officiated at my first wedding.
When the Fremont leadership was first considering this step, I was coincidentally watching a documentary on the civil rights movement called Eyes on the Prize. In it there are clips from the 1950s and 60s of political and religious leaders defending their bigotry and hate by quoting the Bible. I'm sure a hundred years before there were ministers quoting Colossians (or Ephesians or 1 Peter) to endorse slavery in America and to argue against the slaves' freedom. Chose a position, you can find scripture to defend it.
Fortunately history is against the sad, bigoted stand Fremont has taken. Fremont has become less inclusive and more insular.
People found a way to be Christian in post-slavery America. Fremont will, hopefully, one day look back on their action as a sad misstep.
