Methodist Church's Vote on LGBT Inclusion
The podcast discusses the United Methodist Church's vote on the inclusion of its LGBT members in two separate instances. Initially, in 2019, the church voted on continuing to exclude gay members, which passed narrowly. Subsequently, in a recent vote, the church removed bans on ordination and marriage for self-avowed practicing homosexuals. This decision led to significant changes within the church, with the progressive arm gaining majority support.
