United Methodist Church faces mass exodus over LGBTQ+ policy change
The United Methodist Church has seen more than 1 million members leave following a rule change concerning premarital sex and LGBTQ+ inclusion.
The recent General Conference, held in Charlotte, North Carolina, saw a decisive vote of 692-51 in favor of repealing the ban on LGBTQ+ clergy.
This move prompted the United Methodist Church in the Ivory Coast to leave the denomination.
Staunch conservatives have left the church in recent years, leading to a notable shift toward progressivism within the General Conference.
The decision marks a pivotal moment in the church’s history, highlighting the ongoing debate surrounding LGBTQ+ rights and religious doctrine.
