MINNEAPOLIS — Leaders of the country’s largest Lutheran denomination began discussing Monday whether to allow people in same-sex relationships to serve as clergy.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which is meeting this week in Minneapolis, plans to decide whether to approve a proposal that would allow individual congregations to let gay and lesbian people in committed relationships serve as clergy.
Delegates planned to take an early vote on the issue Monday, when they would decide whether to require a simple majority or a two-thirds supermajority to pass the proposal. The final vote was not expected until Friday.
