(Redirected from Evangelical Church of Uruguay in Uruguay)

The Evangelical Methodist Church in Uruguay is a member of the World Methodist Council. It has 1,000 members and 12 congregations.[1] It is also an autonomous affiliate of the United Methodist Church.[2]

History

[edit]

The church was founded by British missionaries in the mid-1800s. In 1893 it became a district, when the Latin America Conference was formed. In 1952 the Uruguay provisional Conference was formed; in 1968 it became autonomous.[1]

Social issues

[edit]

Women are able to be ordained in the denomination,[3] and from 1994 to 2000 the president of the church was a lay woman, Beatriz Ferrari.[4] The church has also "resolved that pastors that wish to minister to homosexuals could do so freely".[5] As a result, some congregations and ministers have provided blessing services for same-gender couples.[6]
