I just joined the support group. I will pray for this decision to be reversed.

Perhaps the pastor could look into switching churches. Does the Anglican Church in SA accept pastors in same sex relationships?

The Anglican Church is in the same place as the Methodist Church on this one. Celibacy is required of their gay priests.
