An Iowa City pastor who pushed back against the United Methodist Church’s restrictions on gay clergy and same-sex marriage — and accused of violating church doctrine by being “a self-avowed, practicing homosexual” — will take an indefinite leave of absence under a settlement announced Wednesday.

Under the resolution described by the Iowa Conference of the church, the Rev. Anna Blaedel will request a leave of absence until they — the pronoun Blaedel prefers — asks to come off it.

Blaedel formerly served as director of the Wesley Center in Iowa City but stepped down in May because of a complaint filed in 2018. Blaedel instead became leader of the center’s Table Tuesday program, a time for college students to come together for conversation about spirituality and social justice.


In other words, she's being paid (mostly due to donations from normal, employed Methodists) to spread Socialism and LGBTQ crap, the latter of which is proscribed by the organization's democratic bylaws.


“Today, we are naming together the truth that it is not currently possible for me to continue my ministry in the context of the Iowa Annual Conference, nor the (United Methodist Church),” Blaedel said in a statement. “I had hoped for a different conclusion to the story. ... I am no longer willing to subject my body and soul and life to this particular violence.”
...
The Committee on Investigation of the Iowa Conference charged Blaedel on May 20 with “being a self-avowed practicing homosexual in violation of Paragraphs 2702.1b and 304.3 of the Book of Discipline,” the law of the United Methodist Church.

It's violence to stop her from being paid to infiltrate and sabotage.

At least 130 congregations have quietly walked away from the United Methodist Church in a schism over the denomination’s planned acceptance of same-sex marriage and homosexual clergy.

The breakaway congregations are keeping their church property thanks to a “conscience clause” enacted by the group’s legislative assembly in 2019.

The United Methodist Church General Conference, the church’s governing body, is expected this year to approve a separation plan that would create two denominations: one affirming bans on gay clergy and same-sex marriage, and one permitting homosexual clergy and same-sex marriage. That move has been postponed because of the pandemic and might be delayed again.

What happened was pure Wussy though. The conservatives had the votes, and should have expelled the libbies or let them leave while keeping the lion's share, as the Episcopagans did to their conservatives.
