The final approval by a majority of the church’s 171 regional bodies, known as presbyteries, enshrines a change recommended last year by the church’s General Assembly. The vote amends the church’s constitution to broaden marriage from being between “a man and a woman” to “two people, traditionally a man and a woman.” The Presbytery of the Palisades, meeting in Fair Lawn, N.J., put the ratification count over the top on Tuesday on a voice vote. With many presbyteries still left to vote, the tally early Tuesday evening stood at 86 presbyteries in favor and 41 against and one tied. “Finally, the church in its constitutional documents fully recognizes that the love of gays and lesbian couples is worth celebrating in the faith community,” said the Rev. Brian D. Ellison, executive director of the Covenant Network of Presbyterians, which advocates gay inclusion in the church. “There is still disagreement, and I don’t mean to minimize that, but I think we are learning that we can disagree and still be church together.”

Presbyterian Church USA has about 1.8 million members, a number that has been dwindling in recent years as conservative congregations moved to other denominations over LGBT rights.

I hope this action by the Presbyterians helps shine the light of truth on all the other Christian cults that are busy closing their doors and their minds to the end of inequality and forced second-class citizenship for Gays.

It's refreshing to read about a positive step taken by a religion towards Gay Equality and acceptance in contrast to the Catholics and Protestants who are working to block equality.

Maybe this will bring good people who 'want to believe' in a religion to the Presbyterian flock and away from the hordes of hate mongers in the Catholic and Protestant armies of doom.
