Mennonite Pastor Supports Same-Sex Marriage

Two Mennonite conferences plan to review the credentials of a Goshen pastor who presided over the marriage of a same-sex couple in violation of the religion's rules. Assembly Mennonite Church Pastor Karl Shelly said he performed the service in May after determining he believes same-sex unions merit equal standing with heterosexual unions. The Elkhart Truth reports Mennonite Church USA guidelines state pastors holding credentials “may not perform a same-sex covenant ceremony.”
