Abstract:
Jimmy Creech, the minister of Raleigh’s Fairmont United Methodist Church is the subject of controversy for his position on homosexuality. Creech was part of a group of clergy who supported gay individuals in response to an anti-discrimination suit. For his support, 85 parish members petitioned to remove him as the church’s pastor. Creech, gay individuals, and parishioners voice their concern and opinions over the United Methodist Church’s and the Bible’s position on homosexuality.
