Yes, the Anglican Church. And I think you mean denomination rather than religion, as there is only one Christian religion by definition.

I believe that a true Christian Religion should include all manor of people who are seeking to follow in Jesus' teachings - who is sinner? who is saint? - who is to decide? God does that. Is there a Christian Religion that is true that would not allow a Gay or Lesbian to be Minister of his word? - judge not less yea be judged.

Christianity is a single religion with many denominations. There are few denominations that accept gay clergy, and it also depends upon the country you are in. The Episcipalians in the US do. The Lutherians (US) have a policy of non-discipline of openly gay clergy in committed same-sex relationships, but this will expire in 2009 http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/local/article/0,1299,DRMN_15_5674284,00.html . http://www.religionlink.org/tip_060605.php

Unity, which isn't Unitarianism, but come to think of it Unitarianism probably would, too. A gay Unity minister married my wife and me. Religious Science (or you may have heard of "Science of Mind", which i believe is the term for their philosphy), which is a lot like Unity. R.S. is definitely not Scientology, and isn't Christian Science, although Unity, RS, & CS arose in the 19th century from people who were probably similar in their thinking and influenced each other to some extent.
