A United Methodist pastor in Charlotte, N.C., who performed a same-sex wedding earlier this year against the rules of her church is escaping without punishment.

A Methodist pastor who was defrocked after officiated his gay son’s wedding in 2007 and then reinstated, has been deemed eligible to remain ordained in the church.
