They want to kick the conservatives out.

That article explains a lot. Thanks for posting it. Interesting that they still want the older congregants to keep sending in their money. Someone needs to spread the word far and wide about this abomination of a church and pastor.

I thought my post was unreal. Your article shows it’s even more absurd.

“The culture shift, away from worshiping alongside older congregants, does not request that the older church builders stop serving or financing the church, however.

William Gackstetter, an original member of the Grove United Methodist Church, said the aging membership has been asked to continue maintaining the church until it reopens without them.

“They want us to mow the lawn and shovel the snow,” he said. “As if anyone would do that. This whole plan makes me sick. I believe it’s evil.””

From your link.

It IS evil. The progressive/leftists/cultural Marxists are succeeding.

They want to kick the conservatives out.

But, very importantly, they want to KEEP the building, endowment, and other assets which the conservative older members contributed over decades.

Christians who want to keep their church need to remember this: a church with assets attracts leftist thieves.

If you want to keep your church, keep it poor. Have the building be mortgaged, and have it be the case that the church needs your weekly donations. Have the pastor never forget that if the people who pay the bills walk away, then he will be out on the street.
