I agree, I could see slavery in the 1840s being reason for a split. It is an example how unfocused we have become. Sexuality is an important part of being human but in the last 60 years it has become a sick obsession. It makes me wonder if all of this is more than a question on religion and is just a question of the subversion of our morals and society. I am against this and would welcome a hard breakup of the UMC. A stand must be taken for what is right .
Much of Christendom's establishment has become voluntarily enslaved to sexual passions.
