[M]The meeting kicked off[/M] with a vote to determine what issues would take top priority.
|
The United Methodist Church, America’s second-largest Protestant denomination, faces a likely surge in defections and acts of defiance after delegates at a crucial conference Tuesday rejected a move to ease the faith’s ban on same-sex marriage and ordination of LGBT clergy.
Some supporters of greater LGBT inclusion were in tears, while others vented their anger after delegates, on a 449-374 vote, defeated a proposal that would have let regional and local church bodies decide for themselves on gay-friendly policies.
“Devastation” was how former Methodist pastor Rebecca Wilson of Detroit described her feelings. “As someone who left because I’m gay, I’m waiting for the church I love to stop bringing more hate.”

Delegates then took up a competing measure, known as the Traditional Plan, that would tighten enforcement of the LGBT bans and encourage Methodists who oppose those policies to leave the church. It won majority support in a preliminary vote on Monday.
The Traditional Plan’s success was because of an alliance of conservatives from the U.S. and overseas. About 43% of the delegates are from abroad, mostly from Africa, and overwhelmingly support the LGBT bans.
If the bans were eased, “the church in Africa would cease to exist,” said the Rev. Jerry Kulah of Liberia. “We can’t do anything but to support the Traditional Plan — it is the biblical plan.”

Sunday marked the first official day of the United Methodist Church general conference.
The meeting kicked off with a vote to determine what issues would take top priority. Discussions about pension plans received the highest vote while discussion about the so-called “traditional” plan came in second. Despite the meeting sparking worldwide interest, one Dothan pastor says he and his congregation, regardless of the outcome of the vote, will remain true to traditional beliefs.
“A lot of our people still are interested in knowing, will we be able to continue our affiliation with the denomination?” said Harvest Church Pastor Ralph Sigler. “Because if the denomination chooses to not stay with scripture, then we would have to begin to make some plans to leave the denomination.”
At this time, it would seem as though the “traditional” plan is gaining the most popularity at the meeting. That plan would keep bans against homosexuality and gay clergy members in place.
