N.C. Church Stops Heterosexual Weddings to Protest Same-Sex Marriage Ban 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A small United Methodist church in North Carolina has announced it will
no longer hold weddings for heterosexual couples until the Protestant
denomination ends its ban on same-sex marriage. In a statement
announcing the decision, the Green Street United Methodist Church in
Winston-Salem said: "At Green Street Church, we claim the committed
same-sex relationships as no less sacred in their ministry to us and the
community."
