 US Methodist church officially splits
The US Methodist Church has officially split.
The national organization separated from the more conservative church in the US and internationally. According to reports thousands of churches have requested to leave the organization since 2019. The governing body of the organization approved of churches leaving starting in that same year, with a clause allowing them to keep their properties. The mass exit was previously appealed in the court system. A justice in that case said he could not legally make a decision on the split and that this matter should stay within the organization. The governing body of the Methodist church finally agreed to allow the conservative churches to leave this year following a vote. So far five thousand churches that were affiliated with the group have announced they will exit. The mass exodus of conservative churches stems back to the national US Methodist church allowing same sex marriage and clergy who condoned or participated in the homosexual lifestyle. The churches leaving the organization will now form the Global Methodist church or have elected to be non-denominational.

Family claims child forced to create idol for “class exercise”
A family in Ohio says their child’s religious rights were violated by a teacher. According to Benjamin and Amie Mutti their son was required to create a religious idol. The project according to the couple was assigned by the boy’s teacher without the school district’s knowledge. The teacher told her fifth grade class to create an idol based on the spiritual beliefs of the Native American Hopi tribe. The teacher then instructed the children to describe their idol known as a kachina doll and what special powers it possessed. The students were then led by their teacher to perform a ceremony in class with the dolls. The parents of the student called the act a clear violation of their child’s religious beliefs. The couple who are Messianic Jews are now being represented by the American Center for Law and Justice. Attorneys from the organization sent a letter to the Lexington School Board. The president of the school board says he would pass on the letter to the district superintendent and board. The board has not responded to attorneys for the family.

Doctor fired for refusing to use gender pronouns on fake patient during work exercise
A doctor in the UK who was fired for refusing to acknowledge a patient’s gender pronoun preference is now taking the battle to court. The doctor, David Mackereth was fired from his position at that UK’s National Health Service for refusing to acknowledge a question during a job scenario workshop. During the exercise the doctor was asked if he would address a man as “ma’am” if the patient made this request. Dr. Mackereth refused; the doctor later stated in a hearing that he was basically fired for a hypothetical situation that in no way reflected his actual job. A court later sided with the National Health Service. Mackereth’s case has since been overturned by another court. Justices in that case said the hypothetical exercise did not prove the doctor would be negligent towards the care of an actual patient. Dr. Mackereth is being represented by the Christian Legal Centre. Attorneys for the doctor will now appeal the case to the European Court of Human Rights.
