Among mainline Protestant groups, only the United Church of Christ and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) allow same-sex weddings in all their congregations. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America allows individual congregations to decide on the ceremonies, and the United Methodist Church bars gay marriage.
My younger brother is on the session (board of elders in presbyterian-ese) at the PCUSA church we all grew up in. He tells me the denomination left it up to the discretion of the local church, whether they would or would not perform sodomite marriages. He expects that that bunch of cranky old farmers will not.
He also says his time there is probably limited. He sticking around while Dad is alive.
Not wise.
The Episcopalians I know are flaming liberals that favor gay marriage... this is no surprise

This is the fruit of Sola Scriptura. Pun intended.
