The Northwest Texas Annual Conference of United Methodist Churches started like a regular church service. Participants sang, took communion, then prayed before voting to split from the United Methodist Church, the nation’s second-largest Protestant denomination.
Presiding Bishop James G. Nunn said, “We are a broken body” as he explained to his hundreds of congregants how the communion bread represented both the broken body of Jesus Christ but also the tension within the faith.
Nunn continued, calling the accompanying communion juice “cups of forgiveness.” He prayed for the congregation’s mercy and forgiveness toward one another. She said, “Even in the best of circumstances, there are feelings that are hurt, and sometimes, relationships are rendered in two.”
