Regional Church Backs Minister in Same-Sex Weddings

Instead of getting a public rebuke for officiating over several same-sex weddings, the Rev. Jane Adams Spahr of San Francisco received applause and tributes.

Instead of getting a public rebuke for officiating over several same-sex weddings, the Rev. Jane Adams Spahr of San Francisco received applause and tributes from the regional assembly of the Presbytery of the Redwoods, a symbolic rejection of the national Presbyterian Church USA's censure of Spahr, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.

While the censure will remain in the church's national records, regional Presbyterian officials believe this was the first time a local body rejected a national ruling on lesbian and gay issues.
