I am not leaving the Methodist Church, it is leaving me. This Sunday I am going to start going to my mother in law's church, a Christian Missionary Alliance church.

There seems to be a sifting going on in the Christian churches. A wheat and the tares kind of sifting.

Everyday I rely more on scripture than I do the church and people.

I was raised a Methodist. Today I am a Catholic. This is just one more example of why I made the correct choice.

The Philadelphia minister said she was relieved by the ruling and hopes the church will become more inclusive to people regardless of sexual orientation voiced intent to sin.

I left the Methodist Church YEARS ago, because of it's activities in and through the National Council of Churches. I'm convinced the UMC is a Communist front organization.

How about polygamists, polyandrists, paedophiles, beastiality and S & M ???

Will THEY be next in the culture of "inclusion"?????

Methodist Church + Presbyterian Church + Anglican Church =
anti-Christian and anti-bible.

And on the Day of Judgement, when Jesus separates the sheep from the goats, many will say, "Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in your name?" And Jesus will say, "I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers." (Matthew 7:22,23) Pitiful.

The Methodist Church has now been marginalized.

You are wrong.

PCUSA is liberal (Presbyterian)
ECUSA is liberal (Episcopalian, 1.3 million members)
UMC is liberal (Methodist)

PCA is conservative (Presbyterian)
AMIA is conservative (Anglican, 71 million members)

The Methodist Church left You about 40 years ago. You must have a strong stomach to have hung around so long.

Well isn't that lovely. The church creed by now must be something akin to that "all-inclusive" Cole Porter lyrics "Anything Goes".

It also reminded me of why I grew up a Methodist, was a member for decades, but chose to leave that church some time ago.

Whatever method there is to this madness, it's not John Wesley's.

Hardly. But some denominations certainly are.
