Hillary Levin/ASSOCIATED PRESS United Methodist Church delegates from Illinois participate in a day of prayer in St. Louis on Feb. 23, ahead of a special denominational meeting on whether to affirm LGBTQ Methodists. The United Methodist Church, America’s third-largest religious denomination, will likely break apart over members’ inability to reconcile differing opinions on whether to affirm queer Christians. An option to reconsider the One Church Plan on Tuesday was also defeated. God love trans people. This is my home church -- Kirkwood United Methodist Church -- in which a leader first told me, "homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching."
