what does that one mom that loves Ukraine feel about this?
So said, and a real pity it has come down to a lawsuit.
I suppose it will come down to founding documents, such as the university charter
It seems both the one court’s dismissal of the case aginst SMU and the appeals court reverasing that decision, were both technical decisions on whether or not the UMC conference had standing (the right as - the position of, a legally legitimate petitioner to bring the suit) for their suit againts SMU [having a right to sue is not the same as being right in the suit]. It will take a full court hearing to determine who is right beyond the technical point of standing.
What I do not find wholly clear is if, or not, SMU is now alligned, theologically, with the “traditionalists” who have been formally breaking away from the UMC.
I understand the Methodist church is being torn apart by the queer/LBGQTXYZ debacle. It's hard to tell from the story but is SMU having a quarrel with the queer/LBGQTXYS side of the church or the side that says we don't support that crazy stuff.
Frankly, I can't imagine any college standing up against the queer crowd. After all, SMU has a DEI officer reporting directly to the president of the college.
So which side is the queer side, SMU or UMC?
