(Phil. Inquirer) No decision yet on Methodist pastor who officiated at Same Sex Wedding

Posted on June 23, 2014 by Kendall Harmon

The Methodist church panel weighing whether to reinstate Frank Schaefer, the Pennsylvania pastor who lost his credentials after officiating his gay son’s wedding, did not announce a decision Saturday, according to Schaefer’s counsel.

The panel, composed of nine lay members and clergy from the church’s northeast jurisdiction, heard Schaefer’s appeal Friday in Baltimore and had been expected to announce its decision Saturday.

No reason was given for the delay. It is not known when the decision will come, but the panel has 28 days to issue a ruling.

Read it all.
