Today, a panel of Presbyterian commissioners ruled that Spectrum founder Rev. Dr. Jane Adams Spahr acted "contrary to the Constitution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)" when she legally married same-sex couples in California in 2008.
However, the panel also called upon the church "to reexamine our own fear and ignorance that continues to reject the inclusiveness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We say this believing that we have in our own Book of Order conflicting and even contradictory rules and regulations that are against the Gospel."
For her actions, Rev. Spahr received an official rebuke from the church, and ordered not to continue with such conduct in the future.
