    The United Church of Christ ruling body voted to approve a resolution endorsing same sex marriage, making it the largest denomination to do so. With 80% aproval it calls on member churches not to discriminate based on gender. But is not binding on individual churches & could cause some to leave the fold.
    The Rev. John Thomas said the ruling body has declared freedom on Independence Day.

    Progress in the making.

    Came out a little blurry at the bottom. But this is the artical I read. Only it says 1.3 million I thought it was 1.8. Sorry didn't mean to mislead.
