It’s just a curiosity question… I in no way aim to offend anybody…
 
The Episcopalians have an openly gay bishop–he left his wife and kids for his male lover and was then promoted (elected?) to bishop. The UCC also supports gay marriage.
 
Will either marry a same-sex couple? Or is it just that they officially recognize the relationship as a couple?

Hmmm, I’m no expert, but I’m sure the UCC would–being “accepting” of all sorts of stuff is kind of their gimmick. I imagine the Episcopalian bishop would happily marry a same sex couple as well.
 
What do you mean by “frowned upon”?

If you mean, “Do all divisions of Christianity believe what the Bible teaches about homosexual acts being sins?” then the answer is that they did. There has been a very recent push for people to be “tolerant” and accept all kinds of things from artificial contraceptives to homosexuality. Unfortunately some entire groups of protestants have been swayed into accepting sinful acts.

I think it’s worth noting that the election of the Episcopal bishop who is homosexual mentioned earlier has caused conflict and threatens to cause a permanent divide between the church in the United States and the church in other areas of the world.

God bless.

I think the United Methodist Church is OK with it too.

Yep that’s correct. They recently reinstated a woman pastor with a live in lover.

Frowned upon is not a good categorization. It has been a violation of moral law since the beginning of man. It has been a sin also. Catholicism has always taught it to be a sin. There are no “branches” of Christianity. There is Catholicism (the fullness of truth) and then there is “potestantism” with its private scriptural intepretation which has spawned many many brands. Some of these brands have ventured deep into a** recent **errant belief that homosexual acts are OK.

Hi razberry!

The sad truth is that you can find a branch of Christianity today tailored to support whatever vice you happen to wish to engage in.
