From USA Today-
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) would become the largest denomination in the nation to allow same-sex marriage if it follows a recommendation made Tuesday by a church legislative committee.
And another church committee, gathering for the Louisville-based church's week-long legislative General Assembly in Minneapolis, recommended the church begin ordaining non-celibate gays and lesbians.
The assembly's committee on Civil Union and Marriage Issues voted 34-18 to change the definition of marriage in the church constitution to describe marriage as a covenant between "two people" rather than between "a man and a woman."
This "would recognize committed, lifelong relationships that are already being lived out by our members," said a committee statement.
