Court poised to rule for 70 South Carolina churches leaving United Methodist Church
Original: Court to side with 70 South Carolina churches seeking to leave the UMC
A court is expected to rule in favor of roughly 70 South Carolina congregations seeking to exit the United Methodist Church with their properties. The dispute stems from a wave of departures tied to disagreements within the denomination, including long-running conflicts over sexuality and church governance. If the ruling stands, the churches would be freed from denominationwide trust provisions claiming church property.
Why now: Denominational splits and property disputes are currently reshaping the United Methodist Church, making court outcomes closely watched.
