Well, another person, friend of a friend has said that there is not one simple AG theory accepted by all who accept AG theory....for what that's worth.

I think this whole episode is indicative of the nature of revelation at the head of the church. Prayer, debate, consensus, disagreement, prayer. With AG as well as Blacks and the Priesthood.

I guess other churches do the same thing, but it's in bigger groups and in more open forums. Perhaps the entire clergy of a faith will vote on whether or not to accept gay clergy. Or the cardinals get together to select a Pope. I used to be disparaging of such procedures, but I think in many ways, assuming these folks are doing it prayerfully seeking Heavenly input, our ways are similar.
