From North Dakota-In July, the U.S. Episcopal Church voted overwhelmingly to allow same-sex marriages in the church.
However, the Episcopalian leader, Bishop Michael G. Smith says he is resisting that policy that went into effect today.
Darcy Corbitt-Hall recently moved here from Alabama
"Coming to North Dakota and then suddenly realizing I don't have that ability in my church is very upsetting,” Hall says. “I can't align myself with organizations that don't treat everyone the same and don't work for full inclusion."
Along with Darcy, other congregants that attend Saint Stephen’s Episcopal Church, share the same beliefs.
