The United Methodist Church has long been riven by bitter divisions between its U.S. and international congregations over whether to allow same-sex marriage and ordain gay clergy.

Now it appears the church — whose 7 million U.S. members make it the nation’s second-largest Protestant denomination — is heading for a permanent split.

On Friday its leaders announced a plan that would lift the LGBTQ restrictions and create a new, more conservative denomination for any congregations that wish to leave. The new denomination, which has yet to be named, would be free to make its own rules.

The bishops who wrote the plan released a statement calling it “the best means to resolve our differences, allowing each part of the church to remain true to its theological understanding, while recognizing the dignity, equality, integrity and respect of every person.”

The deal, which is expected to be approved in May at the next major conference of church leaders, would bring most major branches of Protestantism into agreement on issues of sexuality — and in line with the U.S. Supreme Court and a majority of Americans in their support of LGBTQ rights.

As one of the final holdouts, the Methodist Church carried special weight because of its large membership — 13 million worldwide. At least four U.S. presidents have been Methodist, most recently George W. Bush.

But like most mainstream churches, it has also been losing members in the United States. Helping compensate for that decline is a growing following in Africa and Asia.

Therein lie the roots of the theological conflict. While many U.S. congregations have become more liberal, many abroad have held steadfast to the belief that Christianity does not condone same-sex marriage and relationships.

The plan to split the church would commit $25 million to the new denomination and allow congregations that depart to keep their real estate. Thousands of churches around the world would be expected to take the deal.

The departures are likely to include some U.S. congregations, primarily in the conservative South. The deal would also set aside a total of $2 million to fund other splinter groups that emerge.

“It’s like an amicable divorce,” said the Rev. Mandy McDow of Los Angeles First United Methodist Church, which is downtown and has about 60 congregants, many of them homeless or LGBTQ. “There has been a real split between churches in the west and the rest of the world. Now we don’t have to fight over who gets what — because the church owns so much property — or who is right or wrong.”

For decades, the United Methodist Church had attempted to serve as an umbrella for congregations on both sides of the debate, even as its restrictions remained in place. In 1972, it passed a statement in its Book of Discipline that said “homosexuals no less than heterosexuals are persons of sacred worth,” but added that the church “does not condone the practice of homosexuality and considers this practice incompatible with Christian teaching.”

As gay rights became mainstream in the decades that followed, some congregations declared their support for LGBTQ members, appointed gay ministers and carried out same-sex marriages.

Punishments, directed at individual pastors, were rare but common enough to motivate activism among liberal members. In one of the most high-profile cases, Cincinnati pastor David Meredith was put on trial by church authorities in 2018 for his marriage to a man.

The issue came to a head last February in St. Louis at the church’s general conference, when regional church representatives voted by 53% to uphold the ban on same-sex marriage and reaffirm that “the practice of homosexuality is incompatible with Christian teaching.”

Conservatives also managed to pass rules that would have increased the penalties for pastors who conducted same-sex weddings, mandating a one-year suspension without pay the first time and removal from the clergy the next time.

It became clear at that conference how polarized the church had become and how little room there was for compromise.

The plan announced Friday is the culmination of meetings involving 16 bishops, clergy and lay leaders from the United States, the Philippines, Sierra Leone and elsewhere. Kenneth Feinberg, a mediator best known for negotiating with Sept. 11 attack victims, aided the bishops in drafting their agreement.

“There has been large pressure on the church from the outside to decide on this,” said the Rev. Robert Zilhavar, a leader in the church’s western Pennsylvania conference who has opposed same-sex marriage and ordination of gay ministers. “This is a way for people to move forward without harming one another. I’m prayerful.”

Other large Protestant groups, including Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, lifted their restrictions on same-sex marriage and gay ministers over the last decade.

The General Synod of the United Church of Christ has also come out in support of “equal marriage rights for all,” though its individual churches maintain freedom to decide independently on the matter.

The largest Protestant denomination, the evangelical Southern Baptist Convention, with nearly 15 million members, remains opposed to same-sex marriage.

Robert P. Jones, who studies religious trends at the Public Religion Research Institute in Washington, described the likely split as coming “late to the issue” of LGBTQ rights, “as much of the country has essentially come to a consensus.”

In a poll of U.S. Christians last year, his group found 74% of white mainline Protestants — a group of churches with roots in the Northeast and Midwest and that does not include evangelicals — support same-sex marriage, up 20 percentage points since 2011. In the same time among the general population, the jump was 8 percentage points, to 56%.

“The split in the United Methodist Church is due largely to its international reach and is less of a reflection of where Americans in the pews are,” Jones said.

The same poll found that 71% of evangelical Protestants and 51% of Latino Protestants continued to oppose same-sex marriage — but that they were the only groups to do so.

A majority of the more than 51 million U.S. Catholics support same-sex marriage, even though the church does not.

A split in a church as large as the United Methodist would not be unprecedented.

The Episcopal Church saw conservative congregations in the United States and Africa break away after it embraced LGBTQ ministers and marriages and made history 17 years ago by ordaining a gay bishop in New Hampshire.

LONDON — 

British workers who practice “ethical veganism” to protect animals secured a big win in an employment tribunal when a judge ruled Friday that they are entitled to legal protection from job discrimination.

The judge said that because ethical veganism is a philosophical belief, its adherents are covered by the U.K.’s anti-discrimination law, the 2010 Equality Act.

The ruling came in a claim brought by a man who said he was fired after raising questions about pension fund investments in companies that test products on animals.

Jordi Casamitjana, 55, alleged his dismissal from the League Against Cruel Sports, a British charity that works against animals being abused or killed for sport, resulted from his strong beliefs. The charity did not contest at the hearing whether ethical vegans deserved workplace protections.

Ethical vegans go beyond eating a plant-based diet to try to exclude any form of what they believe is animal exploitation, including not wearing wool or leather clothes.

Tribunal Judge Robin Postle ruled that ethical veganism met the legal criteria for being considered a protected belief under the same section of the Equality Act that prohibits religious discrimination.

Postle found the beliefs held by ethical vegans to be worthy of respect, compatible with human dignity and not conflicting with the rights of others.

“I am satisfied overwhelmingly that ethical veganism does constitute a philosophical belief,” he said.

Casamitjana said he hoped his case sets a precedent for other countries.

“This is a very important ruling for vegans everywhere in the world that will inspire other vegans in other countries that don’t have that protection to develop cases that will lead to that protection,” he said.

Casamitjana’s lawyer said that as a result of the ruling, sanctioning workers for ethical veganism will be prohibited in the same way it is illegal to discriminate against workers based on their race, gender, age or sexual orientation.

SEATTLE  — 

Many U.S. residents admitted some concern Friday, but little alarm, over what danger the country might encounter because of the killing of a top Iranian general in a U.S. airstrike.

Several shoppers at Seattle’s Pike Place Market said they were following news concerning the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Suleimani early Friday near Baghdad’s airport. But none of them described taking precautions or changing routines, even after Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that a “harsh retaliation is waiting” for Americans.

Some people said the problems in the Middle East felt far away and less pressing than other issues, such as local crime.

“It’s a feeling of remoteness at the moment,” said Jodi Koch, 52, a Seattle shoe store manager. “That part of the world is always turbulent.”

World leaders warned about the chances of escalating violence because of the tension between the U.S. and Iran. In many places across the U.S., local officials pledged to increase security patrols and in some cases declared their areas on high alert in response to Iranian vows for revenge. Many analysts said Americans overseas should be especially mindful of an increased risk of danger.

President Trump said Friday that the strike that killed Suleimani was made to “to stop a war” and was in the best interests of the American people.

A poll released by the Pew Research Center in August found that most Americans expressed concern with how Trump was handling ongoing tensions with Iran. Thirty-nine percent said they were “not at all confident” in Trump, while 21% said they were “very confident.”

Ken Khudayarov, a San Francisco tech worker visiting Seattle, said Israel and other countries in the Middle East have more to fear than the U.S.

“I’m not worried about an escalation,” Khudayarov said. U.S. and Iranian officials will “talk through it, or make a deal on the back end.”

Those who said they expect retaliation by Iran said they considered the chance of attacks on U.S. soil to be small.

“I’m sure that Iran is going to do a lot of small attacks outside of the United States,” said Jarek Creason, a Cal State Fullerton student visiting Seattle.

“I’m not going to freak out about it and change my life,” he said. “I’m just paying attention.”

Steven Simon, a professor of international relations at Colby College in Maine, said if Iran chooses to retaliate, “it’s likely to do so in the region rather than in the United States.”

“It would have ample targets there, while entering the U.S. to carry out an attack would be complicated, risky and prone to failure,” Simon said. “A repeat of 9/11 seems quite unlikely. There are many Americans in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Arab side of the Gulf who could be targeted if Iran chose to go in this direction.”

Simon added, “If Iran does kill Americans in reply to Suleimani’s assassination, the U.S. would probably be impelled to respond, possibly creating an escalatory spiral that would at some point entail Iranian efforts to attack the U.S. here on our soil.”

Nationwide, several officials said that there were no credible threats but stressed that residents should remain vigilant in the days and weeks ahead.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Twitter that because of mounting tensions in the Middle East he was deploying the National Guard to New York airports Friday.

“While New York has not received any direct threats, we are prepared and on alert,” Cuomo said.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said top city officials were moving to determine what immediate steps the New York Police Department would take to protect key locations “from any attempt by Iran or its terrorist allies to retaliate against America.”

While De Blasio did not offer specifics, he did say New Yorkers could experience increased bag checks on the subway and car stops on bridges and tunnels.

“We are now potentially facing a threat that’s different and greater than anything we’ve faced previously,” De Blasio said at a news conference, adding that the city did not face a credible threat at the moment.

“Over the last 20 years this city, more than any other, has suffered the results of terrorism,” he said.

In Boston, the Police Department said it would increase patrols and called on residents to remain vigilant on public transportation and around tourist attractions.

The Los Angeles Police Department said it was monitoring developments in Iran, though there was no credible threat to the city.

“This department is committed to ensuring the safety of our vibrant and diverse community, and we ask every Angeleno to say something if you see something,” it said on Twitter.

The comments from the LAPD reverberated throughout the region, home of the largest Iranian community outside Iran. While hundreds shared the message on social media, many deemed it an unnecessary provocation of fear in a city that, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, roughly 87,000 people of Iranian descent call home.

Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best tweeted early Friday that her department was “closely tracking” developments concerning Suleimani’s killing but that there were “no known specific threats” to the city.

“We are staying apprised and in communication with our federal law enforcement partners,” she wrote.

Best’s tweet was swiftly met with derision by people more concerned about local issues.

“Here are specific threats to Seattle … catch and release of violent criminals, free injection sites, drug vagrant fires under Interstate 5, etc.,” one person responded on Twitter.

Another wrote, “This is a reckless and unnecessary tweet. You’re giving your snowflake millennials a false crisis!”

At Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, many travelers seemed to pay little attention to world news as they wolfed down hot dogs and tacos before racing to their gates.

Sandi Milliken, 69, a real estate agent from New Orleans who was waiting for her daughter to return on a flight from Europe, said she supported Suleimani’s killing.

“What that man has done is nothing short of butchery,” she said. “If we had any chance to take that man any time, it should have been done.”

Waiting nearby to board a flight to Los Angeles, Cynthia Chang, a 24-year-old illustrator and comic artist, said she felt nervous as she monitored the fallout from the killing.

“It just feels very irresponsible,” she said. “I’m worried this will lead to war, and I’m wondering about what it will mean for our relationships with other countries.”

BAGHDAD — 

Thousands of mourners gathered Saturday for a funeral procession through Baghdad for Iran’s top general and Iraqi militant leaders killed in a U.S. airstrike that has caused regional tensions to soar.

Gen. Qassem Suleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds force and mastermind of its regional security strategy, was killed in an airstrike early Friday near the Iraqi capital’s international airport.

Iran has vowed harsh retaliation, raising fears of an all-out war. U.S. President Trump says he ordered the strike to prevent a conflict. His administration says Suleimani was plotting a series of attacks that endangered American troops and officials, without providing evidence.

Suleimani was the architect of Iran’s regional policy of mobilizing militias across Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, including in the war against the Islamic State group. He was also blamed for attacks on U.S. troops and American allies since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Many of the mourners were dressed in black, and they carried Iraqi flags and the flags of Iran-backed militias that are fiercely loyal to Suleimani. They were also mourning Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a senior Iraqi militia commander who was killed in the same airstrike.

The procession began at the Imam Kadhim shrine in Baghdad, one of the most revered sites in Shiite Islam. Mourners marched in the streets alongside militia vehicles in a solemn procession.

As tensions soared across the region, there were reports overnight of an airstrike on a convoy of Iran-backed militiamen north of Baghdad. Hours later, the Iraqi army denied any airstrike had taken place. The U.S.-led coalition also denied carrying out any airstrike.

The Popular Mobilization Forces, an umbrella group of mostly Iran-backed militias, and security officials had reported the airstrike in Taji, north of the capital. An Iraqi security official had said five people were killed and two vehicles were destroyed.

It was not immediately clear if another type of explosion had occurred.

Iraq, which is closely allied with both Washington and Tehran, condemned the airstrike that killed Suleimani and called it an attack on its national sovereignty. Parliament is to meet for an emergency session Sunday, and the government has come under mounting pressure to expel the 5,200 U.S. troops based in the country, who are there to help prevent a resurgence of the Islamic State group.

The U.S. has ordered all citizens to leave Iraq and closed its embassy in Baghdad, where Iran-backed militiamen and their supporters staged two days of violent protests this week in which they breached the compound.

No one was hurt in the protests, which came in response to U.S. airstrikes that killed 25 Iran-backed militiamen in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. said the strikes were in response to a rocket attack that killed a U.S. contractor in northern Iraq, which Washington blamed on the militias.

The killing of Suleimani comes after months of rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran stemming from Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal and restore crippling sanctions.

The administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign has led Iran to openly abandon commitments under the deal. The U.S. has also blamed Iran for a wave of increasingly provocative attacks in the region, including the sabotage of oil tankers in the Persian Gulf and an attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil infrastructure in September that temporarily halved its production.

Iran denied involvement in those attacks but admitted to shooting down a U.S. surveillance drone in June that it said had strayed into its airspace.

Alain Prost is full of praise for Charles Leclerc, the four-time world champion believing the Ferrari driver has already “earned his stripes” in F1.

Leclerc joined the Scuderia in 2019 after a one-year apprenticeship with Alfa Romeo. The Monegasque came close to winning on his second outing with Ferrari, in Bahrain, but eventually had to wait until Spa to put his first win under his belt.

He repeated that feat a week later at Monza and concluded the season as the driver who achieved the most pole positions, lining up seven times at the front of the grid in 2019.

Nicolas Todt: ‘Leclerc is my greatest pride’

“I speak with Charles a lot,” Prost told France’s Auto-Hebdo. “The first obvious thing one can underline was his ability to convince Ferrari to hire him at such a young age.

“Racing for the Scuderia come with phenomenal pressure. With that in mind, one can say that the first stage of his career has been a complete success.

Leclerc’s outstanding performances earned him a new five-year contract with Ferrari, a deal that many – including Prost – believe sanctions his status as the Italian outfit’s de facto leader moving forward.

“Charles has already earned his stripes,” added the Renault F1 director and former Ferrari driver.

“One can almost consider him an equal number one at Ferrari. To be able to race as Vettel’s equal in his maiden year with Ferrari is something extremely positive.

“Looking ahead, it doesn’t really matter if he’s a little faster or slower on occasion. Charles showed great maturity, and he didn’t hesitate to get his elbows out a few times.

“When I listen to his radio messages, I sometimes say to myself: ‘That kid has guts!'”

The French club announced on Friday that the striker, who had been on loan at Valenciennes, has passed away

Guingamp forward Nathael Julan has died at the age of 23, the Ligue 2 club announced on Friday.

According to local reports, the player was involved in a car accident on the road to Pordic, near the town of Saint-Brieuc.

Julen has been confirmed as the driver of the vehicle and firefighters were called to the scene at 4:20 p.m., but no further details have been released.

Guingamp confirmed the news via a statement, saying: “The club had the immense pain of learning this afternoon of the accidental death of their player Nathael Julan.

“On this tragic day, all the members of the club join together to send their condolences to Nathael’s family.”

Guingamp have cancelled a friendly with Concarneau on Saturday following the news.

Julan began his career with Le Havre, where he spent his first four years as a professional footballer before joining Guingamp in 2018.

After scoring 23 goals in 52 appearances for Le Havre’s second team, the forward made the leap to the senior squad, scoring seven goals in 38 matches to earn a move to Guingamp.

He made 10 appearances for the club in Ligue 1 in 2018-19 and a further three in cup competitions before joining Valenciennes on loan for the rest of the season. He scored twice in 13 league appearances for Olivier Guegan’s side.

Julan then played in the 3-3 Ligue 2 draw with Grenoble in July, Guingamp’s first competitive game after being relegated to France’s second tier.

The Frenchman also appeared in a Coupe de la Ligue first-round defeat to US Orleans at the start of the season, and in a 3-0 defeat to Lorient in the Coupe de France on November 16.

Guingamp, who currently sit in eighth in Ligue 2, are set to return to league action at home against Lens on January 11 in their first match since the striker’s death.

À seulement deux ans la princesse Charlotte, s’est montrée, ce jeudi 20 juillet à Berlin, déjà très à l’aise avec le protocole.

Mini révérence mais mignonnerie maximale ! En voyage officiel à Berlin ce 19 juillet, avec ses parents, la princesse Charlotte (2 ans) a réalisé sa première révérence publique devant le comité d’accueil officiel allemand, encouragée par sa maman Kate Middleton. Un mouvement royal réalisé après qu’elle a reçu le bouquet de fleurs offert par le comité. À contrario son grand-frère le prince George, bientôt 4 ans, s’est encore montré grognon, comme il le fut à son arrivée, lundi dernier, à l’aéroport Frédéric Chopin de Varsovie.

Mais le garçonnet a fini par faire des émules car si la princesse Charlotte a attendri tous les observateurs hier, elle vient de se montrer sous un jour beaucoup plus…colérique ce vendredi alors que toute la petite famille s’apprêtait à décoller de l’aéroport d’Hambourg. Après le Canada en octobre 2016, cette tournée diplomatique en Pologne et en Allemagne baptisée par la presse britannique « Brexit diplomacy tour » fut le deuxième voyage officiel des deux enfants ; vivement le troisième.

Le pilote automobile Romain Grosjean et Marion Jollès, mariés depuis 2012, ont une bonne nouvelle à partager : le couple qui a déjà deux garçons, s’apprête à accueillir un nouvel enfant, dont le sexe a été dévoilé.

Romain Grosjean pourra s’éloigner du circuit quelques semaines et prendre du temps pour lui. Après une année intense à concourir en Australie, en Chine en Russie et au Canada, à faire crisser les pneus de son véhicule dans des courbes serrées, le pilote va retrouver sa femme, Marion Jollès, la mère de ses deux garçons, Sacha et Simon nés en 2013 et 2015. Et pour cause : elle est à nouveau enceinte, d’un troisième enfant. Ce qui n’empêchera pas le coureur de se concentrer sur les pistes, comme il le dévoilait au Figaro en 2014 : « être père a beau être la chose la plus extraordinaire au monde, quand je mets mon habit de lumière j’oublie mon fils et ma femme ».

La journaliste qui fait tourner les têtes de 35 ans aura toutefois besoin de son soutien et de sa présence à la maison car elle s’apprête à accueillir une petite fille, pour la première fois. « Le numéro 3 est en route », a fièrement dévoilé le sportif, via son compte Twitter, en légende d’une photo de son épouse, la main sur son ventre rond. À quand les premières manœuvres automobiles des enfants ? Avant le congé paternel en tout cas, il faudra s’élancer pour tenter de remporter le Grand Prix de Hongrie à Hungaroring, au nord de Budapest, le 30 juillet prochain.

Laurianne Rossi, députée de la République en marche, a été violemment agressée par un homme ce matin sur un marché de Bagneux dans sa circonscription des Hauts-de-Seine. L’individu a immédiatement été placé en garde à vue.

Laurianne Rossi, députée depuis quelques semaines de la 11ème circonscription des Hauts-De-Seine, distribuait ce matin des tracts sur un marché en compagnie d’autres militants lorsqu’elle a été prise à parti par un homme hostile à la politique d’Emmanuel Macron. Encore ébranlée par l’agression, la jeune élue de 33 ans s’est confiée au micro de Franceinfo sur la manière dont la situation a dégénéré : ” Il parlait des députés godillots mais l’échange était calme. (…) J’ai commencé à lui répondre, mais je n’ai pas eu le temps de finir. Il m’a assené un violent coup de poing dans la tempe droite et a pris la fuite. » Rapidement rattrapé par des militants et les forces de police, l’homme a été placé en garde à vue. Une agression qui n’est pas sans rappeler celle dont a été victime NathalieKosciusko Morizet au mois de juin et qui témoigne d’un climat de violence envers les femmes engagées en politique.

Laurianne Rossi, en dépit de son jeune âge, est pourtant rodée à l’exercice. Née dans le Var, elle a mené de brillantes études à l’Institut d’études politiques d’Aix-en-Provence puis à la Sorbonne avant de s’engager très tôt au Parti socialiste. Après avoir été pendant deux ans collaboratrice parlementaire auprès du sénateur PS Yves Krattinger elle a ensuite rejoint la direction générale de l’Office Public de l’Habitat de Paris. Spécialiste des questions de mobilité et d’aménagement du territoire elle est devenue en 2015 Directrice du développement et de la communication de l’Institut des infrastructures pour la mobilité avant de rejoindre l’entreprise SNCF Réseau pour laquelle elle a travaillée jusqu’à son élection en juin dernier. Laurianne Rossi est aussi un soutien de la première heure d’Emmanuel Macron et donc une cible privilégiée pour ses détracteurs. Engagée auprès du nouveau président de la république dès 2016, elle devient en septembre dernier la référente du mouvement dans les Hauts-de-Seine, séduite, comme elle le confiait récemment au Parisien par le discours « audacieux » et à « rebours des rigidités des partis traditionnels » de l’ancien ministre de l’économie de François Hollande.

Laurianne Rossi, qui est également l’un des trois Questeurs de l’Assemblée nationale et participe donc à l’élaboration du budget et au contrôle des dépenses, s’est exprimée sur Twitter pour remercier ses nombreux soutiens : « Aucun désaccord politique ne peut justifier la violence, qui plus est contre les élus de la république et les femmes. Merci de votre soutien. » Le premier ministre Edouard Philippe a également utilisé Twitter pour condamner cette agression : « Je condamne avec la plus grande fermeté la lâche agression à Bagneux ce matin de la députée @lauriannerossi, qui a mon amitié & mon soutien. »

Si la condamnation de la classe politique est unanime, c’est maintenant à la justice de faire son travail. Laurianne Rossi a de son côté déposé plainte.
