Minneapolis church expelled over support of gay marriage
Leaders of the Evangelical Covenant Church voted to defrock a Minneapolis pastor and expel his church for permitting gay marriage.
The Rev. Dan Collison had his credentials removed by a 77% vote at the Evangelical Covenant Church's annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, on Friday night.
Leaders also voted to expel Collison's First Covenant Church, a founding member of the 134-year-old denomination.
