Monrovia First Presbyterian Church at Odds with Denomination

The pastor of Monrovia First Presbyterian Church, Rev. Anthony Osimo, has written a letter to his congregation indicating that he is "deeply saddened" by a recent decision of the church's denomination, Presbyterian Church USA, to eliminate its requirement that church leaders live "in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness."
 
He said church leaders are discussing the MFPC's options, said that the church is in discussions with other concerned churches, and added that there will be a national meeting to "consider options for those churches who cannot in good faith uphold the new ordination standard."
