I'd like net.reaction to the following hypothetical situation:

A church has an opening for a youth group leader. One applicant
says that he is a homosexual. The church's board of elders (or
other governing body) refuses to employ the applicant on the basis
of his homosexuality, citing Romans chapter 1 and saying that the 
applicant's beliefs contradict the church's values.

In your opinion, has the church acted properly? Should the church be
forced to hire and/or compensate the individual?
