LGBTQ
rights have taken center stage in the struggle over the future of
America's second-largest Protestant denomination. Heading into this
month's Special Session of the General Conference to vote on the
marriage and ordination of queer people, conservative and liberal
United Methodists have reached a stalemate. Can unity prevail, or
is it time, after 40 years of debate, to split up? On
this episode, Maybe God host and pastor Eric Huffman
sits down with some of the key players on all sides of
the debate, including the church's first openly-gay, married
bishop, Karen Oliveto, the founder of the largest United Methodist
church in the world, Rev. Adam Hamilton, and a leader of the
conservative side, Rev. Rob Renfroe.
