Ken Schoon is a clergy candidate in the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church. Discerning his need to be authenticate in his candidacy process, Ken came out as a "self-avowed practicing homosexual" to his district committee on ordination. This bold move and the responses of others within the denomination has sparked conversations throughout the West Ohio Conference and the entire denomination, sparking other candidates to come out during their own processes and fueling conversation about the role of human sexuality in the ordination process.
