Gay and lesbian Mennonites dressed in bright pink have gathered with others outside the church’s biannual convention in Columbus to criticize its leaders for trying to push them out.
About 100 ministers and lay people prayed, sang hymns and spoke of feeling ostracized from the church at the protest in downtown Columbus on Thursday. The “pink Menno” campaign is an effort to get the church to address the deeply divisive issue of allowing homosexuality within its congregations.
