UM Judicial Council to Rule in Stroud Case on Monday

According to the Associated Press, The United Methodist Church's Judicial Council will rule Monday in the trial of Reverend Beth Stroud, an openly lesbian UM pastor who was defrocked because she is a "self-avowed, practicing homosexual." The initial decision to revoke Stroud's ordination was overturned but later appealed to the Judicial Council, the church's highest court.
