Evansville, IN - A Methodist pastor in Indiana has been fired by his church after appearing in drag on the HBO series We re Here. Pastor Craig Duke had served as head pastor at Newburgh United Methodist Church since 2018. He is married and the father of a Pansexual daughter.
While the United Methodist Church a mainstream Protestant denomination does not condemn same-sex attractions,
Craig Duke has been a Methodist minister for three decades, building a reputation as a staunch advocate of LGBTQ inclusion. His pastoral duties have now been terminated the result of a bitter rift surfacing in his Indiana church after he sought to demonstrate solidarity by appearing in drag alongside prominent drag queens in the HBO reality series "We're Here."
