Progressive United Methodists
For many years there has been a split in the United Methodist Church regarding the beliefs on LGBTQ ordination and same-sex marriage. Now a group of progressives have decided to for a new Methodist denomination. Christian Headlines reported:
The Liberation Methodist Connexion describes itself on its website as “a grassroots denomination of former, current, and non-Methodist faith leaders working on the unfolding of the kin-dom of God.”
The website lists more than 40 collaborators involved in founding the new denomination, who call themselves “Liberationists.” Those who spoke during Sunday’s presentation declined to say how many churches or individuals have expressed interest in joining.
