United Methodist conference moves to dismiss church disaffiliation lawsuit
Original: UMC conference seeks dismissal of Bedford County church's disaffiliation lawsuit
The United Methodist Church's regional conference has asked a court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a Bedford County church seeking to leave the denomination. The congregation sued over its disaffiliation process, and the conference is contesting the case. The dispute reflects the broader wave of congregations leaving the United Methodist Church in recent years.
Why now: Denominational splits and church disaffiliation disputes are drawing public attention as many congregations exit the UMC.
