Texas megachurch votes to leave United Methodist Church as mainline denomination fractures over LGBT issues
Fox News
St. Andrew Methodist Church in Plano, Texas, voted overwhelmingly to depart the United Methodist Church last week as the denomination continues to fracture over sexuality.
Church leadership "engaged in meaningful and productive conversations" with the UMC's regional authorities "to finalize terms of our disaffiliation," church leaders said in a statement to The Christian Post. "…the fractures and flaws of the institution are too deep to ignore." Jon Brown is a writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to jon.brown@fox.com.
"St. Andrew's goal has always been to disaffiliate while still maintaining relationships with the UMC and blessing each other in mission for the future," the statement continued.
