Churches Leave as Denominations Break Their Own Rules


On the last Sunday in April, the roughly 450 members of University Reformed Church (URC) in East Lansing, Michigan, voted overwhelmingly to leave their denomination.

One of the reasons: the Reformed Church in America’s wavering approach to same-sex marriages.

The URC believes marriage is limited to a man and a woman. But denominations toeing the line on traditional marriage face a new problem: the growing number of pastors performing same-sex ceremonies despite rules and the ambivalent responses from denominational leadership. Keep reding
