Warren said if the proposal were passed, each congregation will have the opportunity to vote whether to join the “conservative church or any other new branch that forms, but no one has to vote to stay.” The proposal designates $25 million in funding for the “traditionalist Methodist denomination” that may emerge from the split so that these churches drop any future claims to church assets, such as property.Karen P.
“Right now, we see that about 70 percent of the U.S. church is solidly in favor of a more inclusive church,” she said. If the proposal were to pass, Oliveto said she hopes the church"can more effectively share God’s love with the world.” While Warren said he is confident that a separation would result in a UMC that is more accepting of LGBTQ people, he stressed that this would not be the end of his work.
“Gay babies will be born in whatever church or churches come out of this, so the work will always continue,” he said.

NBCOUT From Leviticus (Bible) : 1) You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination [18:22] 2) If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them [20:13]

NBCOUT It doesn’t say, “Thou shalt not be Gay” in the 10 Commandments, but this is an example of a parasite. Gays recruit. It’s human nature. The Methodist Church let them in, I’m thinking 15-20 years ago, 1 by 1, as pastors, now look. U might say gay is in one’s DNA. Not all!
