    True, sadly. Though there’s been a lot of local defiance of that and in 2024 they’re expected to vote on it again.

    The local UM congregation in my city has a gay pastor and giant banners up detailing that they are open and affirming. There’s a whoooole splinter going on right now.

    Some of the conservative nutjobs are breaking off too, but a lot of that is in the US South (and Africa, interestingly; still a lot of homophobia on that continent).

    Also should be mentioned that there are two similarly named Presbyterian church denominations and one is cool and the other is VERY not.

    Still, all the more reason to not get hung up on labels.

        What do you think the point of differing denominations is if not to have modified/different and, as the person you responded to said, more right ideologies?
