If Stroud, 34, is found guilty of "practices declared by the United Methodist Church to be incompatible with Christian teachings," she may lose her credentials as a minister. I figure she'll be a perfect fit for the Episcopalians.
Now the big question (which FMC brought up): why is this in the courts? This ought to be resolved internally in the church without government involvement.

"that will culminate Wednesday in a church trial before a jury of fellow ministers."

Thank you for addressing the question. I concur, that the church court is the best avenue for what she is seeking.
Frankly, if this has gone on as long as it has, I am not sure she will receive what she is searching for.
Similar incidents have happened in other churches, anyone think of one off hand?
