Amid denomination-wide constitutional transition, Little Rock's Second Presbyterian Church, which has 1,700 members, elected a slate of a dozen adult deacons, including openly gay member Michael Upson.
One day earlier, the Presbytery of Arkansas voted to remove restrictions on homosexual ordination from the national church's Book of Order.
An amendment to change the constitution of the 2.3-million-member denomination to remove a bar to homosexual deacons is under consideration, but not yet approved.
