Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations Should Christian churches allow gays to be ordained as priests?: 18 of 67
To understand what this question is asking is to live the life of a Christian homosexual.

Trombone? That's the weird one with the slide, right? Yes, the awe-inspiring instrument that is so often mistaken for a tuba, trumpet, or even a french horn if you're not learned in the art of brass instruments.
