Methodist Gay Marriage
Clip: 9/19/2013 | 7m 56s
A minister faces a possible church trial for officiating at his gay son's wedding.
The United Methodist Church’s Book of Discipline states that “the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching,” and it prohibits Methodist ministers from performing same-sex marriages. But “these are unjust laws,” says Rev. Thomas Ogletree, “and therefore they do not really have the authority of law.”
