Warnings: none – well, religious disagreement, but what did you expect?
Summary: Sequel to “Tuesday's Child”. What if John had come to Atlantis as an ELCA Air Force chaplain? How would the ELCA's recent vote to ordain clergy in homosexual relationships effect his life and ministry?
Author's Note: I am, myself, entering the ELCA clergy. The conversation herein echoes conversations I have had during my various ministry experiences, but none are verbatim. They are all this circumlocutory, however. I am not a military chaplain and never will be (health issues) but I have friends who are, so I hope I got the tone right. “Called to Common Mission” was a major kerfuffle about ten years ago, and many congregations left the ELCA because of it. Thanks to dossier  for the beta!

(Appropriately enough, I'm leading a Bible study on homosexuality tonight.  Please think happy thoughts in my direction, thanks.)
