Amid a legal battle with its conference, leaders of a Dallas megachurch are now urging congregation members to consider a vote to withdraw from the United Methodist Church.
Highland Park United Methodist’s church council held a town hall October 11 for church members that laid out the leaders’ perspective on what transpired before the lawsuit and their broken faith in United Methodist leadership, especially Horizon Texas Conference Bishop Rubén Saenz Jr.
“The question is: Knowing what we know now, should our church remain part of the United Methodist Church?” Caroline Nowlin told those gathered. She grew up at Highland Park United Methodist and since January has served as chair of the 23-member church council.
