A group of progressive United Methodists and other Christians have launched a new denomination named the Liberation Methodist Connexion, or LMX.
The new church aims to center on the voices of people of color as well as queer and transgender individuals those the LMX organizers see as marginalized in the United Methodist Church.
“We are a grassroots denomination of former, current, and non-Methodist faith leaders working on the unfolding of the kin-dom of God,” the LMX says on its website. “We intentionally invite the full participation of all who are living out their God-given identities and expressions.”
