Dr. Beth Stroud, right, holds hands with Bishop John Schol after offering a prayer of blessing at the Wildwoods Convention Center, Wildwood, N.J., on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, as he prepares to retire in August.

On Tuesday night, less than three weeks after the UMC repealed its anti-LGBTQ bans, she was reinstated. (Shari DeAngelo/United Methodists of Eastern Pennsylvania via AP)
