Church leaders vote against gay ministers
QUEENSLAND, Australia --Leaders of the Uniting Church in southeast Australia have rejected their national body's decision to allow gays to be ordained as ministers, ABC News Australia reported. About 100 church members met in Beenleigh south of Brisbane and voted to maintain the status quo, which prevents gays from holding any positions of leadership, ABC News reported. Rev. Ray Reddicliffe says parishioners wanted to express their strong disappointment and deep regret. While it is conceivable that could happen, I think at this stage it's very clear that most people, that's not how they would like to see it,he told ABC News. <http://washblade.com/2003/8-22/news/religion/>
