African Methodists take a stand for biblical marriage after United Methodist Church adopts pro-LGBT measures

[BLAZE] A group of African Methodists released a statement last week, taking a stand for orthodox Christian teaching on sexual ethics.

The United Methodist Church joined ranks with other progressive American denominations last week when, at its general conference, the church reversed prohibitions on LGBT clergy, same-sex weddings, and rules against LGBT-practicing members.

Now, United Methodist pastors can openly practice the LGBT lifestyle and will not face discipline for officiating same-sex marriages. The denomination, moreover, no longer teaches that "the practice of homosexuality ... is incompatible with Christian teaching."

But Methodist representatives from the majority world are standing their ground.

IIRC, some denominations have had to bring in African priests because there aren't enough American ones, and some African churches did send missionaries a few years back.
