In the 1990s, a Methodist Church in Omaha began blending talk of religion with talk about sexual orientation – a conversation far out of the norm. Next came a controversial wedding. Normally a happy occasion, it quickly turned ugly, and the pastor who performed the wedding ended up on trial, cracking the foundation of the Methodist Church. The fight within the church spanned months with Reverend Jimmy Creech front and center. In this episode of ‘Once Again’, Nebraska Public Media’s Bill Kelly shares the story of how that same-sex wedding in Omaha led to the Methodist denomination breaking apart internationally.
