Conservative Christians Just Retook the United Methodist Church:
The mainline denomination voted
on Tuesday to toughen its teachings against homosexuality, same-sex
marriage, and LGBTQ clergy. It must now decide whether it will stay
together.
The United Methodist Church has fractured over the role of LGBTQ people
in the denomination. At a special conference in St. Louis this week,
convened specifically to address divisions over LGBTQ issues, members
voted to toughen prohibitions on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ clergy. ...
The bishops clearly did not have the support for which they had hoped.
