Update on the gay pastor in Washington. A jury of clergy voted 11-0, with two abstentions, to dismiss charges against Karen Dammann, a lesbian minister. The acquittal, in effect, nullified church law in her case. Yikes. The thing that strikes me is that it was unanimous. I wonder what the two abstentions were all about.
I am also prepared no to be surprised if the United Methodist church starts to have internal dissension, a-la the Episcopalian church.
