The latest decision is to leave it up to the local churches. I have served as a deacon with people were unmarried and living together, who were ordained and installed while "living in sin." A denomination can disregard or interpret passages like the one from 1 Timothy 3 which allows half of the congregation (the women) to participate, but can't take that extra step to allow the remaining 4% to share in leadership. | |
