Minister with a dilemma...

How can I fulfill my vows of ordination...
he writes.
How can I fulfill my vows
when there other ministers and elders I define as
"immoral" are in the same room?

How can I fulfill my vows...
he writes...
when I Corinthians 5: 9-11
calls us not to even eat
with one who is sexually immoral.

How can I fulfill my vows...
he writes!
We eat lunch at Presbytery meetings.
What should I do?
Go outside and eat?

Hmmm.

Define the way you must define....
But even
if
your definitions of sin and immorality
were the one and only way
you still have dilemma.

Jesus ate with sinners.
Jesus went into the homes of sinners
and ate.
Jesus ate with sinners!

Why don't you do the same and find out!
I believe without a doubt if you do sit
with the one you deem immoral
and eat and listen
and speak
and listen some
more
there might not be a dilemma
anymore.

But it seems your
ready to blow the candle out
and leave.
