"Article doesn't bother to mention which faction - the majority "remainers," or the minority "leavers" - approve of homosexuality amongst the clergy, encourage gay "marriage," etc."

**************************************************

From the article:

"Although progressives have failed to end the denomination's longstanding ban on the blessing of same-sex marriage and gay ordination, many who hold positions of power within UMC have refused to enforce or follow the rules, prompting many conservatives to leave the denomination."

Thanks! Wasn't in the excerpt posted here!

Still don't understand why the excerpt "flogs" the "schism over homosexuality" angle without making good and clear who is in the minority here.
