Same Sex Couples More Likely to Ask Presbyterian Pastors to Marry Them

Same Sex Couples More Likely to Ask Presbyterian Pastors to Marry Them - christianitytoday.com

Excerpt from this article:

"More than 120,000 same-sex couples have tied the knot since the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage nationwide last year. (The number of American weddings in 2014, by comparison, was more than 2.1 million.) For preachers, requests to officiate a same-sex wedding remain rare. Just 11 percent of the 1,000 Protestant senior pastors surveyed by LifeWay Research have been asked to perform a same-sex wedding. Baptist pastors (1%) are the least likely to say they were asked to perform a same-sex wedding. Presbyterian/Reformed pastors (26%) are most likely. Lutherans (19%), Methodists (9%), Christian/Church of Christ (7%), and Pentecostals (6%) fall in between."

I can save some aspiring 'same-sex couples' some trouble by pointing out at least 1 Presbyterian Pastor and 1 Reformed pastor who probably would not be willing to officiate their 'solemn' wedding vows:
