[North Jersey Media Group] 10 June 2007--New Jersey Lutherans have delivered a message to their denomination: End the prohibition against actively gay clergy.

A vote of about 400 state members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America overwhelmingly approved a resolution last week asking the venerable Protestant denomination to change its policy requiring gay clergy to abstain from having sexual relations.
