Methodists defy church vote on homosexuality
The ceremony was at a park across from the Fort Worth Convention Center, where some 3,000 people are meeting for the United Methodist Church's general conference. It is held every four years to set church policy.
Methodists this week rejected replacing a sentence in its Book of Discipline which says the church "does not condone the practice of homosexuality" with other phrases, including one saying Christians differ on the issue. The measure to change the language also was rejected at the last conference in 2004.
