Dallas高地公园堂会领导层提议全教会表决 与联合卫理公会断绝关系

据《基督邮报》10月16日报道，位于得克萨斯州Dallas地区的高地公园联合卫理公会教堂（Highland Park United Methodist Church）领导层，呼吁就与联合卫理公会（UMC）断绝一切关系举行全教会表决。这间教堂是联合卫理公会内规模最大、最具影响力的堂会之一。

报道称，该堂会理事会本周二一致通过一项教会决议，向全体会众提出的问题是：「高地公园卫理公会教堂（以高地公园联合卫理公会教堂之名运营）是否应断绝与联合卫理公会的一切联系、隶属和关联？」决议称，理事会得出结论：现在是建议堂会断绝与联合卫理公会隶属关系的合适时机，同时保留堂会历史性的事工和使命，并继续忠于卫斯理宗卫理公会神学传统。

上月，该堂会就联合卫理公会地平线得州年议会（Horizon Texas Annual Conference）提起的诉讼作出回应。堂会在9月21日提交Dallas县地区法院的文件中主张，其理事会作为公司董事会，于2022年11月正当修订并重述了堂会的公司章程和细则（bylaws），相关修改当时获一致通过。（GSM 据《基督邮报》报道）

Highland Park UMC Leaders Propose Congregation-Wide Vote on Severing Ties With the UMC

Leaders of Highland Park United Methodist Church in the Dallas area — one of the largest and most prominent congregations in the United Methodist Church (UMC) — have called for a churchwide vote on severing all ties with the mainline denomination, The Christian Post reported on October 16.

The church's Church Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to adopt an ecclesiastical resolution that asks the congregation: 'Shall Highland Park Methodist Church, doing business as Highland Park United Methodist Church, sever all of its ties, affiliations, and connections to The United Methodist Church?' The resolution states that the Council 'has reached the conclusion that the time is right to recommend that the Church sever all affiliation with the UMC while preserving the historic ministry and mission of the Church and continuing the Church's faithful adherence to Wesleyan Methodist theological tradition.'

Last month, the church responded to a lawsuit brought by the UMC's Horizon Texas Annual Conference over changes church leaders made to its governing documents. In court documents filed September 21 in Dallas County District Court, the church maintains that its Council, acting as the corporation's board of directors, properly amended and restated its articles of incorporation and bylaws in November 2022, in a unanimous vote.
