Seven years after he officiated his son’s same-sex marriage — and after enduring a trial, appeals and a defrocking before his ultimate reinstatement — Rev. Frank Schaefer shares his emotional and spiritual journey on this week’s show. Rev. Frank details his experiences and his disagreements with the Church in the new book Defrocked: How a Father’s Act of Love Shook the United Methodist Church. Though he was refrocked in October following the final decision of an appeals court, he almost lost his ministry in the process. Frank tells Welton why defying his denomination was the only option he could choose as a parent and as a faith leader.
