~~DENOMINATION TO SPLIT~~/ 'The United Methodist Church' ~

~~The United Methodist Church is the third largest denomination in the U.S. with over 12 million members. A recent agreement has been reached by the Council of Bishops to split the church body in two, due to differing views on LGBT issues.

A statement from the council said, "The action comes amid heightened tensions in the church over conflicting views related to human sexuality after the 2019 Special Session of the General Conference failed to resolve differences among church members."
A new denomination will be formed that will continue to embrace a biblical view of marriage and sexuality, and those congregations that remain will permit samesex marriage and LGTB clergy. The agreement is expected to be finalized in May 2020.
