William B. Lawrence, a professor emeritus of American church history at Southern Methodist University\u2019s Perkins School of Theology and ordained minister in the United Methodist Church, said complaints are treated the same by the church whether filed by one individual or hundreds. Mr. Lawrence said complaints are filed regularly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">He said it was significant that many members of the church from across the country had signed on to the complaint against Mr. Sessions, which included people from California, Florida, Texas, Illinois, Washington and other states.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Mr. Lawrence said though the complaint process could lead to termination of Mr. Sessions\u2019s membership, the church is \u201cso many steps removed from that hypothetical outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-14jsv4e\"><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"story-ad-3-wrapper\" class=\"ResponsiveAd-flexFrame--1PVri ResponsiveAd-storyBodyAd--35v2w\">\n<div id=\"story-ad-3-slug\" class=\"ResponsiveAd-adSlug--3H3QM\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ad story-ad-3-wrapper\">\n<div id=\"story-ad-3\" data-google-query-id=\"CIWu8cmQ5tsCFQyqyAod-a8BBA\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/29390238\/nyt\/us_6__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"css-18sbwfn StoryBodyCompanionColumn\">\n<div class=\"css-1h6whtw\">\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">First, a pastor or another local church leader may attempt to resolve the complaint. Mr. Lawrence said that could be done by having a conversation with the individuals behind the complaint and with Mr. Sessions, though pastors have wide flexibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">There is no timeline outlined in church law governing how fast they must act, though they are required to respond in some way, Mr. Lawrence said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">If a resolution is not successful, a committee could be appointed to investigate, and eventually the church could hold a trial that could eventually lead to termination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">A spokeswoman for the United Methodist Church\u2019s Alabama-West Florida Conference, a body that includes Mr. Sessions\u2019s Alabama church, said that the conference had received the complaint and that the church would be following disciplinary protocol, but declined to comment further, stating that the procedures are confidential.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1i0edl6 e2kc3sl0\">Since the United Methodist Church was created in 1968, Mr. Lawrence, who has been an ordained minister for 49 years, said he had never seen a complaint that was not resolved by a pastor or other local church leader.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-of-article\">\n<div class=\"css-k8fkhk\">\n<p><em>Follow Mihir Zaveri on Twitter:\u00a0<a
