Frank Schaefer (right), with his son Tim, knew that United Methodist Church law forbade him from officiating at Tim's 2007 same-sex wedding in Massachusetts, but he went ahead and did it anyway “because I love him so much and didn’t want to deny him that joy.” The decision could cost the elder Mr. Schaefer his pastor’s credentials, as he faces a church trial in southeastern Pennsylvania later this month.
