Actually, the one's breaking off are the conservative ones. They're mad because the main assembly won't enforce the homophobic rules. They're joining a splinter denomination that's more hardline.

Thank you for the correction.

Having grown up in a UMC church that hated the gays, I assumed otherwise. I'm glad to hear the majority are becoming more mainstream.

I don't know if it's a majority yet, but there's a significant enough number of progressives to make it a deal. So yeah, there's some hope there.
