Evangelical Methodists in church struggle

An evangelical Methodist church has left the denomination – but now faces issues with church authorities over its building and finances.

In en last October, the leader of The King’s Cross Church, at Hexthorpe, near Doncaster, Richard Iball, said it was leaving the British Methodist Church (BMC) because it had ‘abandoned its submission to the word of God’ following liberalisation of its views on sex and marriage.

The church has sought to ‘Make Jesus Known’ in one of the most deprived parts of the UK, by intentional and appropriate evangelism backed up with social action to support the many local people facing huge financial and social disadvantages.
