I have read current materials used by the UMC in it's deaconess program. It's straight out of Marxist liberation theology and it's run by the Women's Division of the UMC.

If the little old ladies that have financially built the Women's Division of the UMC over the past four generations read the material, they would not find their "Church" in it.

Yet, go to many UMC Churches across the country and the one demographic group that will stand out as a sizeable portion of those attending is single older women.

These are the women who funded the UMC missions to Asia in their youth in the 1940s, married the men who fought in WWII and Korea, built the Women's Division with their $$ in the 1950s and 1960s and now, in their widowhood, as the growth of their church stagnates, Marxist liberation theology educates the young women who stand before them in the pulpit on Sunday morning and ask them to sign the antiwar petition on their way out.

I know what I speak of because I personally know and am well acquainted with people who work in the UMC HQ today as well as people who attend UMC churches.

Yes, I believe you nailed it. So 70 years ago it was the Methodist Women's Missionary Society and later became the WSCS--Women's Society of Christian Service and today it is simply the Women's Division? Hmmmm ...What's in a name?

We left the methodist 'church' years ago and never looked back.
Such a shame. Wesly would be ashamed too.
