True.
Many clergy and congregations are de-affiliating from the UMC.
My theological stance is not liberal.

Not true...especially when it comes to LBGTQWXYZ.
The UMC Church my wife and I were going to had an incredible pastor. He was basically forced out because of his conservative views. He had been a military chaplain for many years. His replacement is a good guy as well, but my wife and I are still very disappointed in the way that the previous pastor was treated and have stopped going there.
The liberals in the congregation “won”, but we had the freedom to leave and find a more conservative group to worship with.
