What Bryan Massingale says is well and goo as far as it goes.  Yet, how can one talk about redeeming the soul of our Church without changing the way that LGBT people and women are treated?  Precluding 1/2 of the population from ordination and from any meaningful decision-making position in the Church is to me a clear sign of the soul-sickness of which Massingale speaks.  The firings of gays who are in committed relationships and now the refusal of a bishop to bury them is another clear sign of  soul sickness.  Without resolving these two glaring issues, how does Massingale think that he is going to redeem the soul of our Church?
