A recent survey reports that among mainline denominations UCC clergy have the highest rate of support for marriage equality. Sixty-seven percent of UCC clergy support marriage equality while twenty-four percent support civil unions. The report also states that “a huge majority (84%) of UCC clergy supports the ordination of gay and lesbian people with no special requirements.” Contrary to public perceptions of Christian clergy, the report additionally states that “on a range of policy issues, Mainline Protestant clergy are generally more supportive of LGBT rights than the general population.” For more, visit: http://www.publicreligion.org/research/?id=208
