He remains in his pulpit, and says if he's asked again to conduct a holy union for a gay couple, he will. That could mean some heavy deja vu. We are still at risk of being prosecuted. Despite the threat, Rev. Creech and his congregation persist. There's been some criticism of Creech within his congregation.
Some members say their opinions opposing gay marriages are being ignored.
Creech accepts the dissent, but refuses to be swayed. I have no problem with diversity of opinion as long as those opinions do not personally attack anyone or cause any injury or harm in terms of self-esteem, respect and spirituality. When asked how a congregation begins to heal from the wounds brought by such a divisive issue, Creech bristled. Growing always involves pain because it pushes us beyond where we're comfortable, what we're used to. It challenges us.
