A division over whether the United Methodist Church should allow gay clergy and sanction same-sex marriages is causing a split within the nation’s second-largest Protestant denomination, and on Thursday, 38 United Methodist congregations in the West will leave the church during the Mountain Sky Conference’s annual meeting in Colorado Springs.The 38 churches filed petitions for disaffiliation, citing “reasons related to human sexuality” as the basis for their departure. They represent about 10% of the churches within the Mountain Sky Conference, which includes Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and parts of Montana.

Randy Jessen, a former United Methodist pastor whose congregation in Genoa disaffiliated last fall. R...
