Methodist minister on trial in church -- literally. Rev. Karen Dammann is being tried by her clerical peers for her crime/sin: living in a lesbian relationship. The Methodist Church is torn over its stance on gay issues, but it staunchly bans "practicing gays" from ministry. For the record, what the hell is a "non-practicing" gay person, and how would celibacy be fair in a church that allows married clergy? Gahh.
