One-fourth of congregations have decided to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church over differences in opinions regarding LGBTQ issues. The church has long debated its bans on gay clergy members and same-sex marriage. Correspondent Brooke Shafer joins "NewsNation Now" with the latest, saying while conservative Methodists say they are splitting over LGBTQ issues, some religious leaders say it is actually about money and power.

Same happened in the PCUSA. What’s even worse is the splits this causes in the congregations themselves. Been there, done that.

Way to go Bishop…the first thing you’re concerned about is the “budget”$$$$$. Where does saving souls fit nothing the big picture? Isn’t that what the church was founded on? Winning the lost to Jesus? Building His Kingdom? Why has the church leadership caved to politics and social pressure? Jesus called His people out, NOT to conform. Proud to be a DISAFFECTED Methodist l

The Bishop is delusional or lying.

This "sifting" will continue as we approach closer to the Return of Jesus Christ

You sound insane. Some Palestinian who has been dead for at least 2000 years is not coming back, in the same way anyone else who has been dead for 2000 years isn’t coming back.

This is a shallow reporting the top and main line of the split is the book of discipline has been our guiding principles since about 1968 when the UMC gathered the other Methodist together. Now the UMC stopped in forcing the discipline around 2015 so the 2019 annual conference it was decided to allow the churches that disagree with the book of discipline to leave but Covid-19’s cancelled the next two conferences by that time the traditional churches had to use that provision to get out with there own churches. I expect the book of discipline will be drastically changed in the next few years

1 Corinthians 6:9-11-Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

as someone who used to be Christian, my favorite Christian joke to use these days is "don't question my methods...im a methodist"

you "used to be Christian"? No you weren't. Maybe you went to church with your family once upon a time, but you've never been Christian or else you would be still be now.
