Methodist Church of England labels “husband” and “wife” offensive terms.

Okay, this looks like the usual newspaper reporting on religion, which is "have no idea what the difference between denominations is".

If I go by the picture, it's the United Methodist Church, not "the Methodist Church of England"; that would be simply the Methodist Church, or the Methodist Church of Great Britain.

The United Methodists originated in the USA and are way more liberal and splitting over the whole LGBT thing. So while there is a branch of the United Methodist Church in the UK, it's much smaller and has nothing to do with either the Church of England or the Methodist Church there.

So the story is now "ultra-liberal small denomination does ultra-liberal thing" instead of "big original church dumps marriage!!!"

EDIT: Okay, so better story says it is the Methodist Church in Great Britain, which is a bigger deal but they're still a relatively small denomination with 171,000 members. They're about the fourth largest single denomination in Britain so while it's kind of a big deal, at the same time it's a liberal denomination doing this thing which most people won't care about. If the official state church, the Church of England, starts doing the same thing, then it's time to worry.
