"United Methodists from Kansas and Nebraska are in support of allowing
gay marriage in the church and enabling gay people to become ministers.At the Great Plains United Methodist Conference on Saturday, about 1,000 representatives from churches across the two states voted to pass Petition 7, which called for “acknowledgement of diverse beliefs regarding homosexuality.”
The petition itself, which passed with a roughly 60 to 40 percent majority, does not change the church’s policy – rather, it gets sent to the United Methodist General Conference in 2016, which is regarded as the legislative body of the church. The general conference “can revise church law, as well as adopt resolutions on current moral, social, public policy and economic issues,” according to its website." WitchitaEagle

and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
