Methodist Ministers Buck Church Leadership On Gay Marriage | In response to an anti-gay vote by their church, dozens of Methodist pastors signed a protest document supporting marriage equality this weekend. At the United Methodist Churches’ global conference of leaders in Iowa, the church voted that its “book of doctrine and rules would continue to call the practice of homosexuality ‘incompatible with Christian teaching.’” Seventy pastors, along with around 400 other lay Methodists, chose to sign on in support of LGBT equality.
