03/19/2004: "What, me err?"

Karen Dammann, on trial for violating the United Methodist Discipline's prohibition on practicing gay clergy, was quoted today saying:

"God called me into ordained ministry and I just can't believe that God makes a mistake," she said during a break in the trial.

She's right, of course–God doesn't make mistakes. But do you suppose it has ever once occurred to her that maybe, just maybe, she has made a mistake in thinking that God has called her into the ministry?
