As I perused CNN today, I came across this story about a prominent mega-church pastor down in Georgia. Allegedly, Eddie Long, pastor of the 25,000-member New Birth Missionary Baptist Church coerced a pair of young men into homosexual acts. Perhaps this is simply another instance of throwing feces and hoping it sticks, but, if these allegations are true, one can only believe that they stem from the all-male, celibate Protestant “clergy.”
What’s that you say, Eddie Long is married, and Protestants allow female “clergy”? Huh, who knew?!
