Charlotte Presbytery Votes To Allow Gays, Lesbians To Become Ministers

The Charlotte Presbytery is one of the largest in the country. Saturday, it voted in favor of allowing gays and lesbians to become ordained as ministers.

Hundreds of church leaders were involved in the vote.

Before the change can go into effect, all of the leaders of the 179 presbyteries in the U.S. must vote. To pass, the issue just needs a simple majority.
