Can an Atheist Lead a Protestant Church

The United Church of Canada is the country’s largest Protestant denomination. The Rev. Gretta Vosper is a dynamic, activist minister with a loyal following at her Protestant congregation in suburban Toronto. She is also an outspoken atheist.  The United Church is pretty liberal, but not so liberal that they are ready for an atheist pastor. "In our opinion, she is not suitable to continue in ordained ministry because she does not believe in God, Jesus Christ or the Holy Spirit."
