More than 6,000 United Methodist congregations have now received permission to leave the denomination amid a schism over theology and the role of LGBTQ people.
This is a terribly written article that’s not clear on why they are leaving.
Best I can tell, they are leaving because they think United Methodists is not conservative enough. They think that too many individual churches are defying the official United Methodist ban on gay marriage, and I guess they think it’s not being cracked down on enough, so the conservative churches are the ones leaving.
