The Christian Post – [Apostate] UMC clergy and activists promised a wide variety of resistance tactics against UMC opposition to homosexuality and gay marriage. Church of the Resurrection, Leawood, KS, the largest UMC congregation in the US, hosted a gathering of 600 pro-LGBT members called “UMC Next” this week.
At issue was the “Traditional Plan” or reaffirmation of the UMC Book of Discipline’s position that homosexuality is “incompatible with Christian teaching” and barred same-sex marriages and the ordination of non-celibate homosexuals.
During a press conference Wednesday, the final day of UMC Next, Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli, senior pastor of Foundry UMC, Washington, D.C., said there would be a “wide variety of resistance tactics” against the Church.
