So wait, are the churches that are leaving in support of the LGBTQ bans that they have? Or are they protesting them? Because the article wasn't totally clear but it seemed like the conservatives were the ones leaving.
So it's conservatives leaving because they can tell the winds of change are coming?
The United Methodist Church wants to allow LGBT people to be members, the people splitting off don't. It is weirdly worded but there's a new conservative sect called the Global Methodist Church that's more anti gay and I would guess most of the churches splitting off are going to join that sect.
Why don't the people splitting off want that? Where did their position come from and why do they maintain it? It's certainly not because god or something. ~Strawberry
