(NBC News) A Presbyterian pastor was pushed out of his northern California parish this week after he erected a sign outside the church that stated, “homosexuality is a sin” and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner “is still a man.”
“As of today, I am no longer the pastor of Trinity Bible Presbyterian Church,” Pastor Justin Hoke wrote on Facebook over the weekend. “I was informed that essentially all but one couple in membership would leave the church if I continued as pastor.”
“I did not want to leave, I did not quit, and I was willing to stay,” Hoke added.
