Statement from Atascadero United Methodist Church about the greater denomination’s ruling at the General Conference
ST. LOUIS — Emotions are high around the country for those in the United Methodist Church in the wake of the greater denomination’s passing of a plan that excludes those who are part of the LGBTQIA community on Feb. 26 at its General Conference in St. Louis. “My heart breaks over the recent decision of the United Methodist General Conference to affirm a plan that does not at all reflect the UMC motto of ‘Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors,” said the Rev. Diane Rehfield, pastor at Atascadero United Methodist Church. “Instead it paints the denomination as one with closed hearts, closed minds, and closed doors to some.” United Methodist delegates from churches around the world passed the Traditional Plan by a narrow margin: 438 to 384. The plan reaffirms the church’s bans on ordaining LGBTQ clergy and officiating or hosting same-sex marriages. The plan also increases the penalties and accountability for those that violate the bans. “My family has been a part of the UMC for several generations, and this is not the way I have ever experienced the church,” Rehfield said. “I want the community to know that at the Atascadero United Methodist Church, nothing has changed. All are welcome here, as equal partners in a congregation that seeks to do good work in this community, and throughout the world, following the example of Christ.”
