South Korea's Methodist Church excommunicated Pastor Lee Dong-hwan for supporting gay rights.
South Korea's Methodist Church has excommunicated pastor Lee Dong-hwan for advocating gay rights, as he attended Seoul Pride events and conducted blessings for same-sex couples. The church's verdict upheld previous rulings that agreeing or sympathizing with homosexuality is a rule violation. Despite the Vatican's recent approval of Catholic blessings for same-sex couples, South Korea's Methodist Church remains opposed to gay rights, reflecting a broader conservative stance in the country. Reverend Lee is considering taking the case to a civil court.
