Well written and interesting. While I will agree to disagree with Miss Williams biblical philosophy I do imagine it was very painful to be rejected when churches learned of her orientation.

I don't believe Jesus would have rejected her. Loving Christians wouldn't either, even if they disagreed with her. As for a leadership role you have to remember 1) churches are run by people and Christians are not immune to bad thinking and behavior (pastors will say amen on this) 2) leadership requirements are a higher standard and yes, include the variable of perception.

So, I feel for her. She could have been treated more lovingly. Not surprised though at the outcome.
