Methodist bishop creates a church in exile in Dallas
Original: In Dallas, Methodist bishop creates a church in exile
A Methodist bishop in Dallas has established what is being described as a church in exile, according to Baptist News Global. The move comes amid ongoing divisions within United Methodism over LGBTQ inclusion, which have led many congregations and clergy to leave or form alternative bodies. The story is drawing attention as observers weigh what the new church means for the denomination's future and for Methodists seeking a spiritual home outside institutional structures.
Why now: The United Methodist Church's schism over LGBTQ issues remains a live debate, and a bishop setting up an exile church is a notable new development.
