The bishop is refusing to accept two people as pastors at Oak Lawn United Methodist, a church known for welcoming all people. Both have gone through the extensive Methodist licensing process to become local church pastors but are openly gay."We’re not just doing lip service when we say all are welcome here. We’re not just doing lip service when we say you matter, that you are of sacred worth and of sacred value, and we recognize the call of God upon your life," said Rachel Baughman, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church’s senior pastor.
