Of course. The UMC, while nationally a conservative organization, includes a far-left Northeast wing.
This was a set-up.
Leftism has infected the UMC across the country. A Methodist from birth, I haven’t been to a Methodist church in the Southwest for a decade. I go when I visit family in the South. But other than that, the UMC isn’t worth the time on Sunday mornings. It is not faith based anymore, it is politics based. Disgusting. (and that goes for the National Council of Churches too, totally taken over by Leftists)
If a church is a member of The World Council of Churches, flee from it — it is apostate, a false church.

I agree this was a set-up, but you think Michigan is in the Northeast?
Not any more. Internationally, maybe -- the Africans are saving the UMC from utter self-destruction. The Conventions have become like the Democrat platform, and have been for many years. Only the church in developing countries who do not have the luxury of decadence are holding the line against the heretics.
Sorry but United Methodists are far left for decades. I was raised in that church and married in it but will never attend it ever again. I am from the South and they are liberal leftists here also.
Gave up on them over 25 years ago.
