GC: Sarah Thomas Commissioned, Not Ordained To Officiate Super Bowl

Share

SILVER SPRING, Md. – This morning the General Conference addressed the status of Sarah Thomas, the first female to officiate the Super Bowl.

โ€œWhile we acknowledge that Thomas made history this week we just want to remind everyone that Thomas was commissioned, not ordained to her role,โ€ said GC spokesperson, Colegio Viejo.

He added that a โ€œresponsibleโ€ reading of a handful of cherry-picked verses โ€œhas us convinced Paul would not have been cool with female Super Bowl ordination.โ€

Veijo added that the Florida Conference had been sent a letter warning it to โ€œget on top of this kind of thing in the futureโ€ and coordinate with pro sports organizers in the state to โ€œavoid unwelcome surprises going forward.โ€
