Apparently many in the Methodist Church leadership are on a fast track to Hell, and taking as many as they can with them. It is unwise to teach opposition to God and His Word.

Ditto all - Nashville and New York have NEVER spoken for the pews. And the schools obviously don’t either.

But what I’m not seeing is a defense of the UMC. Which by the way, is very common among our FRoman Catholic FRiends.

If college presidents want to go their own way, fine, let them leave the church money behind too. It’s their business if they think God has changed his teachings, I have not heard from Him on any changes.

Idiots can’t see the reason the church has lost membership is because the church has lost its way and thinks the bible is wrong and humans are right.
To: Gamecock
if they’re not celibate, they should be expelled.. not “included”
at least, at Christian colleges!

Grew up Methodist, wondering why no one in the hierarchy gets a clue ... the laity don’t want this, they want Biblical teaching and if the Bible is no longer taught in the UMC, people will leave.
I married a Mennonite farmer. They are going through the same contortions. We now go to an evangelical church where the Bible is taught.

Here is what steams me the most--the claim that the current LGBTQ language hurts attendance.
If you want to argue for a more "modern" "interpretation" of the Bible, then do so. But spare me the stupidity of the argument that changing the UMC's position on homosexuality is going to reverse our declining membership. There is no evidence of this. Every denomination changing its stance is still bleeding membership.

Your Methodist College should not be serving man, but serving rather God.

“It is my disappointment and the feeling of many of my colleagues that this has been one of the reasons contributing to a decline in membership and attendance,” Miller said. “The church has not stayed current with the people it serves.” PRECISELY!!
It is, after all, the responsibility of the church of Christ to be "up to date" with popular morality.
Te decline in membership and attendance is caused by quite the opposite. That is, the decline in morality and Biblical teaching in the official church. They double down on the road to hell.

ALL churches should be bashed when they take action contrary to the Word of God.
ALL.
Hiding behind this "Caucus" thing is the height of cowardice.
