The United Methodist Church votes down a proposal to allow local churches to perform same-sex weddings and hire openly LGBT clergy
The United Methodist Church has voted to reject a proposal to allow local churches to perform same-sex weddings and hire openly LGBT clergy, a move that church leaders said will almost surely lead more liberal members to leave the mainline denomination. The move was pitched by proponents as a way to keep the increasingly fractious denomination together amid widespread disagreements about scripture and the morality of same-sex relationships.
This is our church, too, and I have thousands of people with me urging you to hear this call," Jordan said. Cara Nicklas, a delegate from Oklahoma, said that she's received numerous messages from people calling her support for the church's current stance on LGBT relationships"mean-spirited and unloving.""Surely you don't want to be united with me if I am as mean and unloving as you say," she said.
