With local presbyteries having debated for a fifth time G-6.0106b, and now changed ordination standards, a particular question has sprung up for me. I had the core of my question/argument answered in this article by the LA Times regarding Rev. Saphr. The argument has been made, and upheld, that she is allowed to be openly homosexual and an ordained minister in the PC(USA) because her ordination pre-dated G-6.0106b. Therefore, since during her ordination she did not take a vow to fidelity and chastity (this likewise extends to heterosexual ministers, and has been upheld) these vows cannot be forced upon her.
