People in the Southern Conferfence are mad as heck and writing letters and e-mails like crazy. Apparently some "rogue" issue comes up every four years (when the national conference is about to be held). People I've talked to think this issue will be shot down. On the other hand, if it isn't there will be mass exodus by the Methodist conservatives.

Yes they are following the spirit, but is isn't the Holy Spirit.

Against his own wishes, but compelled by church law, Bishop Elias Galvan filed a charge against Dammann. The case came to trial in a church court, and last week a jury of thirteen Methodist pastors, eight women and five men, declared Ms. Dammann not guilty.

I agree with the remainder of the article. Mr Colson probably isn't aware that his words italicized above are not actually true.

While it is a fact that bishop Galvan filed the charge, he had to be force-fed into doing so. Dammann reported her homosexuality to Galvan because of his track record of support for the homosexual cause. Since then, Galvan has drug his feet, chosen stacked juries, appointed biased prosecutors, hailed homosexual advances, and generally done everything necessary to twist our church law to his own ends.

Colson wouldn't necessarily have known all this.

Prayer, honor martyrs, and ministry to the least of these. Exactly what the Church should be talking about.
