Author: A Methodist pastor has been found guilty of marrying a lesbian couple in 2009, the AP reports:
A 13-person jury of clergy peers unanimously convicted The Rev. Amy DeLong of Osceola. The jury found the 44-year-old not guilty of a second charge of being a "self-avowed practicing homosexual." That vote was 12-1.
