The United Methodist Church has postponed its leadership elections to next year as it grapples with deepening divisions over homos3xuality.
The elections, initially scheduled for this year, aim to replace Bishop Eden Nhiwatiwa, whose term has expired.
Several senior church leaders have been vying for the top position, promising to revive traditional Christian values.
According to reliable sources, candidates have been quietly building support since January, setting the stage for a potentially contentious election.
The delay reflects the church’s ongoing struggle to reconcile its differences and find a unified path forward.

“UMC elections expected this year have been moved to next year,” said the source.
“The delay has been created by divisions concerning homos3xuality as each leader is being questioned over the matter.
“The aspiring candidates are being questioned over their integrity and pledge to not exchange God with gold and pulpit with homos3xuality.
“Bishop Nhiwatiwa’s term expired before Covid-19 but he was asked to continue beholding the office on an interim basis.”
