Wrongful dis-affiliation?

Here's a story from the Boston Herald:

"The spiritual teacher stripped of her Christian Science affiliation after refusing to repent for marrying her lesbian partner of 10 years is now considering suing.

'I have three names of attorneys that were recommended and I just feel like that maybe I should call one of them,' Kathleen Clementson, 62, said from her Florida home yesterday.

Clementson married Suzanne Nightingale, 49, in a private morning ceremony May 20 on a beach in Brewster, three days after state law granted gay and lesbian couples the right to apply for licenses.

When a wire service picture of their vows circulated through the country, Clementson was soon reprimanded by the church board who ordered her to repent. When she refused, she was stripped of her teaching credentials and her membership."
