PC(USA) schedules first 'gay' ordination since rule change

Associated Press logo small 2MADISON, WI - The Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.) plans to ordain the first openly homosexual
candidate for ministry since the denomination struck down
barriers this year to clergy with same-sex partners.
As of July 10, the church's constitution no longer requires that
clergy live "in fidelity within the covenant of marriage between
a man and a woman, or chastity in singleness."
Scott Anderson, who heads the Wisconsin Council of Churches,
will be ordained as a teaching elder on October 8 at Covenant
Presbyterian Church in Madison.
Anderson and his male partner have been together for about two
decades.
