Methodists Uphold Ban on Same-Sex Marriages; Presbyterians Reject Openly Gay Clergy

Same-sex couples started getting married in Iowa this week. A state Supreme Court decision last month allowed gay marriage there. But United Methodist clergy won’t be performing any of those ceremonies, at least not officially. The denomination’s high court upheld a ban against presiding over same-sex unions, even if those unions are recognized

Comment: One would think the church would not be able to condone the union between a man and a woman as being more than a partnership according to the Bible. Do you agree?
