Does anyone in the know have a good idea about what would be different between these too plans, as in what would be the effect on the local church?
As I understand it the OCP would require a Church Conference vote to allow same sex marriages on the church property though it would allow the pastor to choose to do the wedding somewhere else if they disagree with the local church's decision.
The SP just removes all the language related to homosexuality (as best as I understand.) So, what happens if a pastor wants to do a same sex wedding but their church hasn't taken a position on the issue? Am I missing something between the two plans?
