Thanks!
I pretty much stopped following what was going to happen to the UMC. I left the UMC for Anglicanism (John Wesley was Anglican :) ).
I appreciate the information!
I learned most of the liturgy I know from three years in the Anglican Episcopal Church in Caracas, Venezuela, which we attended because there wasn’t a UMC there and my folks weren’t going to go to the United Church of Christ. I learned it by rote, and only years later began to realize that much of it was straight out of the Bible.
