Methodists drop church charges against minister who conducted gay wedding

Methodists drop church charges against minister who conducted gay wedding
The United Methodist Church announced Monday it is dropping its denominational case against a New York clergyman who officiated his son's same-sex wedding. The Rev. Thomas Ogletree was charged by the church after presiding over the wedding of his son to another man on October 20, 2012, according to a statement from the New York Annual Conference (NYAC) of the United Methodist Church. The Methodist church says it welcomes members regardless of sexual orientation, but same-sex marriages cannot be performed in Methodist churches or by ordained ministers under church policy.


I agree that charges are not the appropriate action, but dismissing this fellow as your 'pastor' is definitely the thing to do, lest you become party to the advocacy of perversion...
