North Texas Conference Black Methodist for Church Renewal UMC

Our prayers are with our Arkansas sisters and brothers 🙏🏽

It is with an extreme heavy heart that Theressa Hoover Memorial United Methodist Church announce the loss of our Founder. A great caring and loving man and of great stature is no longer here with us on earth. Rev. Dr. William H. Robinson Jr., our preacher, our Founder, left us this morning to be with the Lord. He was still doing God's work at the age of 91. We ask for the prayers for his beautiful family, for this church congregation and Better Community Development, Inc. as we move forward with the legacy that he has built in saving lives, building and restoring communities. We will share the information of the homegoing celebration soon. One of his grandsons, Darryl Tate Swinton quoted the best scripture- Matthew 25:23. WELL DONE PAW-PAW!! We love you! And we thank you!!

The delegates voted to delete mandatory penalties for conducting same-sex marriages and to remove their denomination’s bans on considering LGBTQ candidates for ministry and on funding for gay-friendly ministries.

The 667-54 vote, coming during their legislative General Conference, removes some of the scaffolding around the United Methodist Church’s longstanding bans on LGBTQ-affirming policies regarding ordination, marriage and funding.

Still to come later this week are votes on the core of the bans on LGBTQ clergy and same-sex marriage in church law and policy, which may draw more debate. However, the large majority achieved by Tuesday’s votes indicate the tenor of the General Conference. The consensus was so overwhelming that these items were rolled into the legislative “consent calendar,” normally reserved for non-controversial measures.

United Methodists begin to reverse longstanding anti-LGBTQ policies United Methodist delegates have begun making historic policy changes on sexuality, voting without debate to reverse a series of anti-LGBTQ policies.
