Looks like the organizers have issued an apology:
That said, the apology rings hollow because they clearly meant to mock the Last Supper and they still deny that that was even what was being portrayed.
As for the UMC, they don't seem to have been involved in this, although they certainly aren't beyond criticism when it comes to their views on the morality of "drag queens" and general sexual ethics.

My relative recalls that there was a version of the article which referenced the organizer of the event, who has the same name as a Methodist minister in the US who she was personally aware of, and in her shock over the incident apparently she thought the article was saying that minister had advised the performance group on the Last Supper and had contributed to it. Hence the confusion.
That being said I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the more liberal UMC clergy endorse or defend this.

Well they said the put trust in their artistic director. Well that's their big mistake right there! In this day and age you should know what that can mean with an extreme liberal individual. Future Olympic host cities better take notice. Do you want to have your Games to be well thought of from start to finish? YES nor NO. If you don't care fine...have your big party and have half the people around the world watching it. As for me I think I'll just stay watching national sports events this year.
