A United Methodist pastor from central Pennsylvania who was defrocked
after officiating his son’s gay wedding was invited by a California
Methodist bishop to serve in her region in yet another sign of a split

Frank Schaefer said he is deciding whether to accept the offer from
Bishop Minerva G. Carcano to join the California-Pacific Annual
Conference. The region includes California, Hawaii, and the Pacific
Islands.
"I’m actually leaning toward it right now, but I can’t make that
decision myself because it involves my entire family," Schaefer said.
"We are considering it very, very seriously." Full story here!
