America voted Thursday to disqualify all gay men from serving in its ministry.The 1,400-400 vote to change its governing document came at the denomination’s 48th General Assembly, held this week in St. Louis.
The rule change, known as "Overture 23," will go to local church bodies known as "presbyteries" for a vote before a second round of convention balloting next year that would place the language in the denomination’s "Book of Church Order," which governs PCA practice.
