There is a schismatic movement among theological conservatives in the United Methodist Church. Coming from the conservative end, I can certainly understand why.
What I wonder is, why isn't the Left interested? I mean, surely they must be tired of dealing with us backward retard conservatives dragging down the church. Wouldn't they be happier without these constant fights over homosexual clergy and whatnot? Wouldn't they perfer a denomination where their beliefs were orthodox?

We have the same situation in the PCUSA, and I have the same question about it that you do. Historically it has always been the conservatives who leave. Why is that?
i would reason that the moderates are going to actually be the ones which decisions ride on, and they are probably tired of hearing from both the conservatives and liberals.
Cole, I agree that there is room for differences, but only within limits. I've heard and read too many leftist Methodists espouse universal salvation and pantheism. These are heresies and utterly beyond the boundaries of the Christian faith. We do not need diversity in our church that leads to damnation.
