The Presbyterian Church on Sunday became the largest Christian denomination to ordain openly gay clergy, as a measure takes effect that will allow gay men and women in same-sex relationships to become ministers.
The new policy goes into effect today after the church’s assembly and 97 of the denomination’s 173 presbyteries approved the change to the church’s constitution on May 10, to allow the ordination of gays as ministers, elders and deacons.
