Abstract
We construct a discretized path integral for a one-variable minisuperspace model of gravity, which is made gauge-invariant by extending the method of Fradkin and Vilkovisky. Then we derive the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. The operator ordering of its kinetic term is fixed and turns out to be that of the Laplace-Beltrami operator.
