Thomas Oggletree who was a former Yale Divinity Dean and a United Methodist Minister will soon be tried by a church council for breaking the church rules prohibiting Methodist ministers from blessing same sex unions. He officiated at his son Thomas Rimby Ogletree’s wedding to Nicholas William Haddad in New York City. He justified his act, saying, it is in keeping with his beliefs as a Christian. A number of similar cases have occurred recently with gay couples.
