Avoiding Sexuality Issue Is Not True Peace

Many voices from across The United Methodist Church are suggesting there is no way forward in the 36-year-long dialogue about the role and status of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the church. Declaring an impasse, these voices call for an end to this dialogue in the name of peace and unity.

The URC decided to talk about gay clergy 10 years ago, nearly split the church in two. The consensus was that they wouldn't talk about it...for ten years. That time is up, be interesting to see what happens.
