The United Methodist Church is facing a dramatic internal split, likely to peak early this summer.

Gay clergy, same-sex marriage and gay clergy, and now drag queens in church, get most of the headlines when United Methodist troubles are discussed.

Sexual issues have become the flashpoint in the impending split in the denomination.

As of May 18, no less than 3,356 United Methodist congregations were approved for exit.

A large group downgrades the reliability of Scripture and denies the historicity of biblical miracles.

A survey of UMC people found that only 29 percent said Scripture was “the most authoritative source of their personal theology,” as opposed to tradition, personal experience, or reason.
