Key Points:
- The Judicial Council, The United Methodist Church’s top court, ruled that current church law doesn’t allow U.S. annual conferences to leave the denomination.
- The church court said that annual conferences have a right to vote on disaffiliation, but only General Conference can set the process for doing so.
- The ruling answers questions from the United Methodist bishops, who are dealing with the ramifications of a splintering in the denomination.
