Due to British Methodist Church’s support for same sex marriage, Methodist Church of Nigeria, MCN, has formerly cut ties with its British counterpart.
Globalreports tentacles has it that Methodist Church Nigeria on July 2 through its Director, Media and Public Relations, Rev. Oladapo Daramola, expressed displeasure over the decision of the British Methodist Church in favor of same-sex marriage.
Rev. Oladapo Daramola said the Prelate, His Eminence Chukwumerije Kanu-Uche, revealed the position of MCN in a sermon. According to him Kanu-Uche declared that MCN is cutting off ties with its British counterpart over the British Methodist Church (BMC) support for same sex marriage at the just concluded conference.
He said that what the British Methodist Conference had done was predicted by John Wesley that, “a time will come when the Methodist Church will exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion and denying the power thereof unless they continue with the spiritual fervency with which they first started.” The prelate reminded the members that the British Methodist Church was no longer the mother Church of MCN.
“She is only a sister Church. MCN gained autonomy in 1962 and became autocephalous in 1963. So, we can part ways with the British Conference and have nothing to lose. I only pity those romancing with them because of pecuniary interest.
Suggestion to write or visit the British Methodist Conference is an insult on Methodist church.’
As a remedial measure let every Bishop, and Archbishop tell our members that MCN does not support gay or same-sex marriage,’’ Kanu-Uche said
