It’s hard to have a religion based on a book when you don’t believe the book. Just write your own book or pick a different book. Methodists and others have been squishy for decades.

It’s hard to have church rules if you have to cherry pick which rules to enforce. I know people who are clergy and took part in a same-sex marriage and were not punished. I also know people who were punished. I guess it depends on whether you have a large congregation or a college ministry. College ministries aren’t money makers.
I found it really odd that our pastor will not do weddings when he can just say it is not allowed.
