Presbyterian Church Votes in Favor of Same-Sex Marriage

HeadlineMar 18, 2015

The largest group of Presbyterian churches in the United States has voted to approve same-sex marriage. The decision by the Presbyterian Church (USA) broadens the definition of marriage in the church’s constitution from being between “a man and a woman” to being between “two people, traditionally a man and a woman.” Rev. William Blake Spencer, a gay pastor in New Jersey, told The New York Times, “Some of us are calling it liberation day.”
