Didn’t they just have a conference to settle this?

When leftists are involved, nothing is ever settled until they(leftists) say it is.

Yes. The Progs lost, so its not settled.

When they win, then it’s settled.

They did have a clear vote on this at the last General Assembly. The conservatives clearly won, and the liberals clearly lost.

One reason for the conservative majority, is that the African churches, which originally were started as missionary churches, but are now vibrant and growing, voted almost 100% with the conservatives.

When liberals win, they call for everyone to respect the decision and move on with no more dissent or discussion. When liberals lose, they demand to change the rules, which is exactly what the this separation proposal is.

Liberals who cannot in good conscience abide by the rules of the church should do the honorable thing and leave. The churche buildings and institutions that they want to seize control over, were built and paid for by generations of Methodists, who would be voted almost 100% with the conservatives.

Yep. It instituted a traditionalist church and the progressives refuse to obey. They never will. Better to just split.
