(FAITHWIRE) – Prominent Southern Baptist theologian Albert Mohler is rebuking the United Methodist Church over its division on LGBT issues, arguing the increasingly progressive denomination is creating “two religions.”
On the Wednesday episode of his daily podcast, “The Briefing,” he called out Hope United Methodist Church in Bloomington, Illinois, for allowing Isaac Simmons – a gay man who often preaches in drag – to serve in a ministerial position.
“This is open revolt,” said Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. “And, of course, you’re going to see a division between those who are appalled by it, deeply troubled by it, deeply concerned by it and opposed to it on the one hand, and those who celebrate it and say that it’s arrived far too late on the other hand.”
