Although there are a number of differences between the Lutheran churches in Moose Jaw, on the topic of ordaining people in same-sex relationships, the two are on the same side.
Rev. Douglas Shepherd of Central Lutheran Church said in his church, persons in same-sex relationships cannot be ordained.
"We don't do that. We ordain homosexuals and lesbians if they are celibate, but we don't ordain (those who are) in a relationship."
Shepherd said Central Lutheran, like Emmanuel Lutheran, does not do same-sex marriages, nor does it do same-sex blessings.
He said those things could change down the line "but that certainly hasn't happened yet."
