Metropolitan Community Church has been discussed on this forum in the past. Its founder, Troy Perry, was a Pentecostal preacher/pastor in both COG and COGOP. Both denominations had the good since to expel him once his hidden life style was revealed. Perry started an openly gay affirming church in the late 1960s (LA, Hollywood, West Hollywood, area). He, under the banner of faith community leader has led the charge down to the sewer of hell itself. What is sad is many of the mainline denominations which once opposed his lifestyle as sin are now following down the same road to the same sewer. There is a litany of historic churches, colleges and ministers that have chosen to be inclusive in a prevented expression of what they call Christian love. Perry was the first major stone in the landslide of apostasy that is ushering in a new dark ages of Christianity, or he is a harbinger of the great falling away before the second coming of Christ.
