Augustana College to allow same-sex ceremonies
ROCK ISLAND (AP) — Augustana College in Rock Island will now allow same-sex ceremonies on campus.
President Steven Bahls has sent out an email announcing his decision to allow same-gender ceremonies after a recommendation from campus chaplain Richard Priggie.
Priggie tells WNIJ Radio (http://bit.ly/TvIroB ) that several gay couples expressed interest in having a ceremony. He says that led him to request the president's approval.
