SCHISM

by Bob Walsh

The United Methodist Church, the second largest Protestant denomination church in the U. S., has announced that they are planning to split the church along ideological lines. The tilting points are same-sex marriage and ordinate of homosexual clergy.

The new denomination would be designated "traditional." It is unsure how much of the 13 million member congregation will go which way, but the church and lay leaders went 53% AGAINST gay marriage and gay ordination last year at the general conference.
