The Church of Scotland has taken a significant step towards ordaining practicing homosexual ministers, after a majority vote by local bodies.

The issue has already caused 18 ministers and hundreds of members to leave the denomination.
A final decision will be made after draft legislation is passed to the Church of Scotland’s General Assembly in May.
