statement in support of gay marriage ahead of an April global policy
conference of the church, which prohibits gay marriages.
Retired Oklahoma City minister Jim Gragg is collecting signatures and says
62 clergy and 203 members have signed the statement. The Oklahoma United
Methodist Conference says there about 300,000 Methodists in the state.
Gragg says the church has historically been inclusive and that doctrines and
attitudes against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people contradict
the vows ministers take to minister to all people.
Tulsa pastor Suzanne Davis says she signed the statement because she
believes gay people who want to make a commitment to each other in the
church should be able to do that and be recognized as important.
