Seminary president ousted for officiating daughter's lesbian wedding
In New Jersey, the New Brunswick Theological Seminary ousted its president and reprimanded him for officiating the ceremony at his lesbian daughter's wedding. The Reverend Norman Kansfield, 64, performed the ceremony in Massachusetts and Board member Reverend Larry Williams Sr. told the press, "It could have hurt the school if it divided people in our student body, if it divided our faculty, if it divided other people who support us." There's no record we can find that it did. Kansfield says he didn't do anything to hurt the Reformed Church of America, his denomination, one of the most conservative denominations in the National Council of Churches.Newsday[Date: 11-Feb-05 ]
