Violence Against Methodists in Nigeria Amid Church Divisions
The ongoing turmoil in Nigeria has led to the tragic deaths of three United Methodists, highlighting the deadly violence linked to the breakup of the United Methodist Church over LGBTQ policies. As this debate intensifies, the church has called for prayers for peace in Nigeria, where such conflicts are becoming increasingly relevant. The schism within the church, particularly concerning LGBTQ issues, has created significant tensions resulting in violence against its members. The Methodist community is facing profound challenges as it navigates these divisive topics while mourning the loss of its congregants.
