Assembly votes down gay clergy resolution

The Eastern North Dakota Synod Assembly narrowly defeated a resolution Sunday that would have called for a reversal of its denomination’s decision to allow individuals in same-gender relationships to serve in the clergy. That resolution failed by a margin of 190-213 on the second and final day of the annual assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s END Synod in Jamestown.
