Certain Methodists, Mennonites, and the like who veer off into moral relativism; who are afraid to engage any form of church discipline.

Fair enough.
But be aware that the *majority* of UM congregations in the US and abroad have not drunk the homo Kool-Aid. Therefore the last UMC General Conference upheld the tenet that homosexual behavior is not compatible with Christianity. UNLIKE, for example the PCUSA Presbyterians and ELCA Lutherans, and Episcopalians, United Methodists haven’t taken that highway to hell, at least not yet.
I would put my very scriptural and conservative UM pastor up against any fire-breathing Church of Christ, Assembly of God, or Southern Baptist minister any day of the week. He preaches from the book and does not seek to “tickle the ears” with modern humanist revisions to the Holy Scripture.
Plus he loves to shoot and has his CCW. I’m fairly certain he’s packing most of the time. ;-)
