United Church of Christ ex-president, the Rev. John Thomas, admits affair, is divorcing

Posted on September 4, 2010 by Kendall Harmon

The former president of the United Church of Christ is divorcing his wife and is now in a committed relationship with a former co-worker at church headquarters, the UCC announced.

The Rev. John H. Thomas was general minister and president for a decade of the mainline Protestant denomination before he resigned at the end of his term in 2009.

Thomas and his wife, Lynda, are divorcing, and “he has formed a relationship with another woman with whom he worked” while he led the Cleveland-based denomination, the UCC said in a statement.

    Does being in a “committed” relationship make it all better?

    Rat!

    Yes – otherwise you get thrown out by the UCC ejector pew.

    Welcome to TEC’s future if current leadership continues on. A world of utterly meaningless, squalid “relationships.”
