of his daughter Ann's 2011 ordination. He was dismissed from the Presidency due to officiating at Ann's 2004 marriage to her same-sex partner. Subsequent charges were brought to the General Synod of the Reformed Church in America, which put him on trial in June 2005. He was found guilty of all charges and punished by being deposed from the office of Professor of Theology and suspended from the office of Minister of Word and Sacrament. Kansfield taught Reformed Theology in the Theological School at Drew University in Madison, NJ, and serves the congregation of the Zion United Church of Christ, Stroudsburg, PA as Theologian. He was active in the founding of Room for All, an organization within the membership of the Reformed Church in America that is working for the full inclusion of GLBT persons within that denomination, and he served the Human Rights Campaign as a member of the Editorial Board of Out In Scripture. In 2011, Kansfield followed the process for restoration to the Office of Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Reformed Church; in return, the church reinstated him as a pastor.
