Canaan Voted to disaffiliate from United Methodist and Join the Global Methodist in 2023
Petition: Disaffiliation of Canaan United Methodist Church (Denton)(Uwharrie District)
By: Trustees of Canaan United Methodist Church (Denton)(Uwharrie District)
Whereas, by near unanimous consent the congregation of the Canaan United Methodist Church has expressed disagreement with the results of the 2019 special session of the UMC General Conference regarding the adoption of the "traditional plan" as presented; and Whereas, the Canaan United Methodist Church believes the "traditional plan" as approved does not sufficiently address the lack of accountability for Bishops and Clergy who openly disobey the Book of Discipline; and Whereas, the Canaan United Methodist Church does not agree with the passage o f petitions at the 2019 session of The Western North Carolina Conference, one of which presented the tenets of UMC Next which rejects the "traditional plan", and another petition which stated the annual conference's strong disagreement with and condemnation of the traditional plan; and Whereas, the General Conference did provide a disaffiliation process for congregations that disagree with the actions of the United Methodist Church and its language regarding human sexuality and accountability to the church; Therefore, be it resolved that the Canaan United Methodist Church, with a more than two thirds vote of members at a special called church conference has voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church per Book of Discipline per paragraph 2553; and Be it resolved that Board of Trustees and Disaffiliation Committee of Canaan UMC be given the authority to negotiate and enter into a formal disaffiliation agreement with the Conference Trustees and execute all deeds, contracts, instruments, etc. needed to carry it out; and Be it resolved that said formal disaffiliation agreement will be placed on the agenda of the November 4, 2023 meeting of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference and ask that the conference respect and affirm the desire of the Canaan UMC congregation to disaffiliate from The United Methodist Church.
