A local church is weighing decisions similar to those faced by Spiritus Christi Church several decades ago. Asbury First United Methodist Churchis considering breaking off from its denomination after delegates from the United Methodist Church voted to approve the church's so-called Traditional Plan. That plan involves a ban on same-sex marriages and LGBTQ clergy.
What does that mean for Methodist congregations that oppose the ban? We're joined by Reverend Stephen Cady from Asbury First. Cady attended the global conference earlier this week and has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights. He joins us to discuss the result of the conference and its possible impacts on his church.
