I would definitely call this a historic decision. A mainline denomination like the Presbyterian Church said for the first time that an acting minister has the right to perform same-sex marriages. |
The only option Janie has, if you do not help her out today, is to leave this church. She cannot leave the ministry. |

Women in the United States feel personally vulnerable about the terrorism issue. Women have a tendency to be moved by these issues. |
