Rev. Elder Nancy Wilson, a longtime leader in the predominantly gay Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), has been nominated to become the next Moderator of the MCC denomination, according to ReligionNews.com.
Upon her election at MCC’s General Conference in Calgary, Canada in July, she will succeed the Rev. Troy D. Perry, MCC’s Founder and current Moderator. Wilson has enjoyed a distinguished ministry within Metropolitan Community Churches. In 1976, she became the youngest person ever elected to the MCC Board of Elders, serving as an elder since that time.
