The Presbyterian Church took a huge step in a June, voting to allow its pastors to officiate same-sex marriages in states where gay marriage is legal. Connecticut is one such state.
So now Rev. Shannon White of Wilton Presbyterian is free to perform gay marriages without fear of losing her ordination.
More on the vote by the Presbyterian Church:
"By a vote of 429-175, leaders of the 1.76 million-member Presbyterian Church (USA) voted during the biennial General Assembly in Detroit to change the denomination's Book of Order to describe marriage as being between 'two people.'"
