Tom, This is from the link that John gave in the initial post. Nearly 265 years after her legendary fire-and-brimstone forebear delivered his historic sermon warning of hell's horrors, a Squirrel Hill clergywoman is under church scrutiny for joining two women in marriage. The Rev. Janet Edwards, 55, likens performing the ceremony to her famously orthodox ancestor, Jonathan Edwards, preaching to the Mohicans in the 18th century, when racism made Native Americans the object of scorn and fear.
"I would say his acceptance of the Mohicans of the time is similar to my inclusion of gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgendered people now," Janet Edwards said. I think he was showing the absurdity of Ms. Edwards trying to justify her sinful ministry by appealing to Jonathan Edwards righteous ministering to the Native Americans at Stockbridge. One of the first things he did upon arriving there was to begin teaching the Indian children the Westminister shorter (children's) Catechism. Stucco
