Over the last 52 years, the UMC “Social Principals” have had elements added to and subtracted from it. But during the last 2 years a group has been working on a complete revision from the ground up. Today, the last section was adopted. This meant the end of the “Incompatibility Clause.” Another important item that was included in the legislation was a new definition of marriage. Stay tuned to find out what happened, why it’s a historic move for the UMC, and what it means to our LBGT+ brothers and sisters.
