Debate over gay marriages stirs Methodist panel ruling
In Omaha a panel cleared Rev. Jimmy Creech of disobeying church rules after conducting a lesbian unity ceremony.

Creech, praised by supporters and protested by opponents, returns to his Omaha pulpit as division watches the implications for 9.5 million Protestants and church policy.
