Question: Was it Southern Methodist (SMU) or United Methodist? President Bush started going to AME churches in DC (radical black churches) because the UM churches were so nakedly partisan in all elements of their church worship!
From the SMU website:
Founded in 1911 by what is now The United Methodist Church, SMU is nonsectarian in its teaching and committed to academic freedom and open inquiry.
Translated: Very liberal! (I've taken a regular course, plus two short courses, there)
