PWP 58: Why is the United Methodist Church No Longer United?

Episode Summary

In this episode, Justin and Bekah discuss the current state of the United Methodist Church. It is splitting due to a disagreement between conservative and progressive factions within the church over whether or not being gay/queer/a member of the LGBTQIA+ community is "compatible with a Christian life." Within the current Methodist Book of Discipline, it isn't. The discussion today is informative for those who want to know more, but may hit a raw nerve for those who are being affected. Take care of yourself. "I will not let a human soul be sacrificed to my own conviction." -Justin Hancock
