He was suspended for 30 days. But....if he violates any rules during that 30 days then he will be defrocked. And he has taken a defiant attitude, suggesting that he plans to break several rules.

Your link is about a pastor named Frank Shaeffer. This is about a bishop, Melvin Talbert. They both involve marrying gays, and Shaeffer was convicted, so they’re easy to mix up seeing that they’ve happened at the same time.

A premeditated public and expressly forbidden unholy act SHOULD have resulted in permanent suspension of his church authority.

Too bad the Methodists don't read the bible. 1 Thess 4:1-8 clearly lays out that whoever rejects the commandment regarding sexual immorality has rejected God. "Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit."

Romans 1:32 confirms this by condemning those who approve of those who practice sexual immorality. Such a man is not qualified to be a pastor/elder/minister/priest.
