Every Monday, a few dozen African-American ministers meet at Trinidad Baptist Church in northeast Washington, D.C., to pray, eat and brainstorm about the big issues facing their churches.
These days, one item looms large: same-sex marriage. When asked whether there is any debate about homosexuality in this crowd, the Rev. Patrick Walker, pastor of New Macedonia Baptist Church in southeast D.C., turns to face his colleagues standing around the sanctuary.
"Anyone here for same-sex marriage?" he yells. The two dozen ministers are silent for a beat — and then break out in incredulous laughter.
