These are the Methodists who tried to help the city of Durham throw three students in prison for thirty years at the UMC entity Duke University.
For a crime that they knew never happened. The Methodists have changed a lot since I was baptized in Tulsa 30 years ago.
“... the UMC entity Duke University.”
Duke University and the Methodist Church severed their formal relationship many (30 or 40) years ago. There is a plaque at the entrance to the beautiful Duke Chapel that explains the historical relationship and the current situation. The UMC has absolutely no control over the operation of Duke University.
