LINK Georgia Church Leaves United Methodist Over LGBTQ Clergy, Same-Sex Marriage : NPR
The church said in a statement that it believes it is the first U.S. church to leave the denomination over UMC's "unequal treatment of LGBTQ people."
It said that the UMC's South Georgia Conference last month voted to allow it to split and that Asbury "looks forward to a bright future as an independent non-denominational church."
Interesting.

Good for them I attended an "inclusive" methodist church for a few months. It was one of the better churches I attended. But the bible centric preaching made me cry. I switched to a Unitarian Universalist church and that was much better, another step towards atheism.
