Church Teacher Banned After Gay Marriage

FORT MYERS, Fla. - A woman who married her lesbian partner in Massachusetts was banned from teaching in the Church of Christ, Scientist, after she refused to "repent" for her actions.

A church letter sent to Kathleen Clementson said she had abused her role as a teacher and could teach spiritual healing again only if she repented and served a three-year probation.

Clementson, 62, instead returned her teaching credentials and left the church.

"I don't feel I have anything to repent for more than anyone else," she told The News-Press of Fort Myers.
