Let's just call it “the exodus of the faithful.” The United Methodist Church recently lost more than a million members—in a single day.

In just one vote, the United Methodist Church experienced a massive exodus as a group of African Methodists declared they could abide the United Methodist Church's theological liberalism and moral revolt no longer.

With that single vote, the Ivory Coast Annual Conference of the UMC just left the church taking 1.2 million members and declaring that “the new United Methodist Church which distances itself from the Holy Scriptures is no longer suitable.”

The issues cover the entire LGBTQ waterfront.

The Ivory Coast Annual Conference declared that the United Methodist Church “is not based in any biblical and disciplinary values,” and that it “is now based on sociocultural and contextual values, which have consumed its doctrinal and disciplinary integrity.”

Well, they didn't mince words. The Methodists there in Africa serve as an example of what biblical faithfulness and gospel witness requires.

God bless them.
