Great news! Forcing lawless leftist UMC leaders to abide by the LAW established by the UMC is what this was about.

What about the church buildings?? Do they stay with the UMC, or go with the disaffiliating congregation????

My church will be affiliated with the Global Methodist Church as of midnight-01, June 01, 2023!

All we have to do now is rid ourselves of our LIEberal UMC minister!

There has always been disunity and diversity.
I was disbelieving about this but looked it up and yes, there are a lot of Protestant denominations in the US:

“the Center for Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, which is evangelical Protestant , estimates that there are currently 47,000 denominations .”

47,000

The UMC "church" near us was one of the first places in our fine city to put out "Black Lives Matter" signs along the street in front of their building.

The signs are since gone, but the ultra leftism is still there, one highly suspects.

I HIGHLY recommend Christians purchase a copy of this manual for Church Discipline, by Dr Jay E Adams. the father of the modern Christian counseling movement:

https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Church-Discipline-Privilege-Library/dp/0310511917?asin=0310511917&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1

Then have a talk with your pastors to regain what has been lost. This never should have happened.

What percentage are leaving?

Nationwide it appears to be around 11%.

In my locale (Susquehanna Conference) that holds true but my immediate MAGA Trump aka “flyover country” it is more than 30%.

The religious divide of today is not on traditional denominational lines, nor even believer versus non-believer.

It is Sodomy versus non-Sodomy.

Independent, un-afilliated is the only way. For any denomination.
