Lesbian United Methodist minister won't face church trial SEATTLE A ruling by an appeals committee within the United Methodist Church will allow a lesbian pastor to avoid a church trial and pave the way for her return to ministry. The Western Jurisdiction Committee on Appeals upheld a decision by a regional board to dismiss a complaint against the Rev. Karen Dammann.

She was accused of violating church law that bars gays who are sexually active from being ordained. "We're very happy with the decision," said the 4G-year-okl Dammana The ruling came in a 4-3 vote Jan. 30. The Rev. Jeff Procter-Murphy of Phoenix, a member of the appeals committee, said church law on gays encouraged duplicity and was "morally and theologically untenable." I le said that Dammann was open with her superiors about her relationship and shouldn't be punished for that.

Hundreds demonstrate against decision to forcibly evict rebel monks OURANOUPOLIS, Greece More than 600 people chanting "Orthodoxy or death" protested against a decision to forcibly evict rebel monks from a monastery on Mount Athos. The monks oppose efforts to improve relations between the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, which has put them at odds with Orthodox leaders. They claim they have stockpiled enough food to remain in the monastery of Esphigmenou for two years. Dionissios Avramides, a member of the Friends of Esphigmenou Society which organized last weekend's demoastration in support of the rebels, said, "Forces of evil have surrounded the monastery. They have taken decisions to defrock the monks but we will not allow it." About a dozen police officers last week cordoned off the monastery after Mount Athos' authorities told its 117 inhabitants to leave.

Po-' lice have orders to expel any monks who leave the walled monastery compound, but the officers say they will not storm the building. The Esphigmenou is one of 20 active monasteries on Mount Athos, also known as the Holy Mountain. The monks have appealed to Greece's highest administrative court.
