During United Methodist pastor Frank Schaefer's trial last November a few news organizations noted that three other pastors might be put on trial for performing a same-sex marriage. Rev. Thomas Ogletree has been notified that his is next, to be conducted on March 10th. Like Schaeffer, he is charged for officiating at the wedding of his gay son. Like Schaeffer, he is defiant and refuses to promise to not do it again.
Rev. Bill McElvaney, who retired from Northaven United Methodist Church in Dallas, has declared himself willing to officiate at same-sex ceremonies, going against church law. He may lose his credentials and pension.
