Methodist church in D.C. to recognize gay unions: Clintons' former congregation

A United Methodist congregation in Washington, D.C., the church attended by President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton, has changed its policy to recognize—but not “celebrate”—same-gender partnerships.

Foundry United Methodist Church’s senior pastor, Dean Snyder, announced the plan to begin leading services that “recognize and honor lesbian and gay committed relationships.” The congregation would join what United Methodist News Service called “a handful” of congregations in the denomination that follow this practice.
