It is Sodomy versus non-Sodomy.
We will discover new Christian affiliations with denomination lines disappearing before long. It will be good versus evil battle lines.
Rainbow v. Old Rugged Cross!
One might suggest, in the 1990s...the university system producing the ministers...was infiltrated, and what came out was a liberal-minded minister.
I maintain the division is even deeper than Sodom. The authority for assimilating deviancy into the authority of the church is in conflict with local church practice. The Bishop’s cabinet has lost the confidence of local churches. They seek to break from an authority that does not consider their needs and interests above the political and social interests of aberrant cultural (read: liberal, Marxist, atheist) movements.
A spirit of elitist moral superiority has grown up within the confines of the leadership of the church that admonishes their underlings to accept their edicts. District Superintendents are encouraged to look down on local congregants as illiterate and uninformed with outdated attitudes about Christianity.
