[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 74607663, member: 313365"] Thanks for this ES. I notice that [USER=239032]@hedrick[/USER] is running a similar thread over in the Wesleyan forum. Reading The Hill article I was struck by this sentence (my bolding): [INDENT][I]The United Methodist Church is the largest mainline Protestant denomination in the U.S., [B]and the only Protestant denomination that has yet to allow same-sex marriages and the ordination of LGBTQ clergy.[/B][/I][/INDENT] This doesn't sound right. It suggests that all other Protestant denominations in the US allow SSM and ordination of LGBTQ. I know there's a bit of splintering going on but I'd be amazed if [B]all [/B]US Protestant denoms allow SSM[B]. [/B] I thought that denoms allowing SSM would be a small minority. OB [/QUOTE]
