“This denominational schism would be historic and largely the first of its kind since the 1840s when Methodists and Baptists divided regionally over slavery.”
The Un-United Methodists.
Methodists are splitting over the issue of homosexuality?
I never thought I would see homosexuality become so prominent, as to cause schisms in religion .
Why is it the conservatives that need to leave? The conservatives have had the majority at every general assembly, which is why the liberals want to separate?
So why are the conservatives at a disadvantage?
Why do conservatives get only a small fraction of the financial assets of the current denomination?
Why is the presumption that conservatives have to vote to leave, with a threshold set above 50%.
Why are individual churches unable to vote to leave for four years after the liberals take absolute control of the now United Soviet Social Methodist denomination. Conservative members will leave far before and there will not be enough conservatives left to even be a majority in their own churches.
Not much difference between the current pope, the lesbian episcopal priests, universalist churches, and some presbyterian and lutheran (I am referring to the ones who are so left, they are fine with gay priests/pastors, and abortion, etc. )...these all ought to start a new cult, BKQ (baby killing queers). Sad, but satan is happy with these folks.
Didn’t they just have a conference to settle this?
John Wesley And the Holiness Movement would be greatly saddened
“I’m looking forward to participating in a Methodist revival!”
I pray for revival throughout the land among all denominations.
We’ll take Christ, you take satan. Okay.
A breakup is long overdue with all of these extreme liberal groups that are allowed to be the spokespersons for the whole denimination.
And the progressives divide us...
As in the days of Noah, so shall be the days of the Coming of Christ.
Raised Catholic, I became a practicing Methodist for 17 years after my marriage. Methodists have no mission to the poor which, as a Catholic, I found appalling. This gay thing, makes no effing sense to me, as we had a gay minister female, daughter of a Methodist minister, and she was married to a female. The issue was just ignored. Anyway, after my divorce I left that cold and empty place and now practice no religion.
Therefore:
Lutheran (EL C S*A) Ping!
* as of August 19, AD 2009, a liberal protestant SECT, not part of the holy, catholic and apostolic CHURCH.
Christ is Born, Glorify Him!
The August 19 date refers solely to the adoption of the gaysbian agenda, NOT to the “Full Communion” agreement.
The ELCA disaster of August 2009 happened in that city as a tornado touched down across the street from the venue.
What makes him think there's a crying need for any sort of Methodism?
I would imagine the conservatives get to keep their churches, so lm all for it.
