Sounds a lot like the Methodist Church. That seems to be the denomination that’s leading the charge on gay marriage.

...and Episcopalians, and Presbyterians....

Just the tip of the iceberg to come. Christianity will be unrecognizable soon...

Actually, the United Methodist Church is the one mainline Protestant denomination that has consistently and solidly held the line against gay marriage. The vote by the 2012 General Conference in Tampa was so overwhelming that the leadership did not allow any other sexuality-related petitions to even be debated.

My friend and co-worker, John Lomperis, wrote a series of articles about it, which you can read here: https://www.theird.org/why-was-the-2012-general-conference-so-unproductive-and-dysfunctional--

(Many other issues were also torpedoed - but that's another discussion.)
