The United Methodist Church moved toward becoming more progressive and LGBTQ-affirming during U.S. regional meetings in November 2022, that included the election of its second openly gay bishop. Conservatives say the developments will only accelerate their exit from one of the nation’s largest Protestant denominations. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)
