This is asking a lot. I know what it’s like to open yourself to scorn and ridicule. But I want to give folks an opportunity to stand up for love, support Pam, and Belmont United Methodist Church.

I fully agree with you that the punishment meted out is harsh and unnecessary. Your solution proposed in an earlier post, was a very good idea and would have closed the chapter. People need to forgive and though she may have gone against ”church policy” she did not go against God’s teachings on Love and understanding. In fact your solution was very much what would have happened in Canada. Hopefully the Church management will revisit their decision and realize you do not need to go that far to make a point.

She makes me want to cry, this is beautiful:

Thanksgiving that she responded to her calling even when, or especially when, it lead her into the uncertain and scary places at the edges. She is truly a disciple.

Pam is a loving an honorable human. She is an example to the powers above her for their eventual evolution. In the end, love will win. Stand tall and keep moving forward.
