In May 2017, after sixty years as an ordained United Methodist
minister, Rev. J. Philip Wogaman surrendered his ordination,
choosing to exit a community of clergy who will not allow an openly
gay person to join. By surrendering his ordination, he chose to
join the group of devoted Christians outside the clergy who
welcomed gay and lesbian individuals. Beginning with an examination
of ordination and what is means theologically, ethically, and
pastorally, Wogaman then describes the action itself and its
aftermath. Surrendering My Ordination also explores how The United
Methodist Church can move forward, beyond the polarized present
situation found in many contemporary Christian churches.
