EDENTON — Edenton United Methodist Church is facing a split from within.

Earlier this month, church members voted on whether to “disaffiliate” from the greater United Methodist Church. The vote was in response to a recent impasse among Methodists across the country over whether to allow pastors to preside at same-sex marriages and approve the ordainment of persons identifying as LGBTQ.
