The Mormon church will no longer label same-sex couples"apostates" and will allow their children to be baptized into the church without special approval from church leaders, the church said in a surprise announcement Thursday.
The announcement was made by Dallin Oaks, a member of the church's First Presidency, at a conference in Salt Lake City. "Previously, our Handbook characterized same-gender marriage by a member as apostasy," the church said in a statement."While we still consider such a marriage to be a serious transgression, it will not be treated as apostasy for purposes of Church discipline.
