The Rev. Jane Adams Spahr lost her final appeal before the highest court in the Presbyterian Church (USA), which released its opinion Tuesday. . . .A lower [church] court's rebuke of Spahr was upheld, along with the warning that pastors should not represent the marriage of [same s-x] couples as Presbyterian marriages.
The Rev. Jim Rigby, pastor of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin and a liberal activist, said that in ruling on Spahr, "the church is voting on itself. For a reformed church to choose its past over its people is death."
