Kentucky Presbyterian Church votes to overturn gay minister ban

The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that commissioners of the Presbytery of Transylvania voted 83-61 Tuesday to approve the amendment. The presbytery includes 56 Kentucky counties.

The church has considered such amendments several times since 1996, but all have failed. A close vote is expected this year.
