Methodists Battle Over Accepting Gay Marriage

The United Methodist Church is on the brink of a formal schism if they can't figure out how to compromise on the issue of gay marriage. A large minority within the church are actively trying to change Methodist doctrine to allow for the acceptance of gay unions.

This struggle poses the question: How do voluntary, private organizations change—or refuse to change— policies about matters that are central to their missions?
