On a morning about 10 years ago, the Rev. Amy DeLong woke up in disbelief that she was still a reverend.  The day before June 23, 2011   she had stood trial at Peace United Methodist Church in Kaukauna on two charges. She had officiated a wedding between two women and she herself was in a lesbian relationship or in the church s language, was a self-avowed, practicing homosexual.   LGBTQ clergy and same-sex weddings were, and continue to be, forbidden by the United Methodist Church, a body of over 12 million members globally that has in recent years threatened to split over its refusal to fully include LGBTQ people into the faith.
