This is part of the reason I'm no longer a Methodist.

This is idiotic. Smashing a plate proves nothing.

Fitting that they should be using crockery. This whole notion is a crock.
To: dighton
This just HAS to be the funniest thing I've read in a very long time! Around my relatives, a iron skillet - when banged real hard on the stove - had every man running for cover.

Boy, I have heard of stupid things, but this takes the prize for stupidity. Love, Do

I always thought the Methodists had degenerated into left-wing, lesbian-ordaining CRACKPOTS, and this proves it.

The Wesleys must be petitioning God for a separate section in heaven.

Boy. Hillary was way ahead of her time when she was first lady of Arkansas!

Unbelievable! Don't these dingbats realize that it's usually MEN who are on the receiving end of the flying crockery?

Well, I am still a Methodist (and well-known in my congregation for speaking my mind about silly things like this) and I have heard NOTHING about such an event. I notice this is a UK article. Perhaps this is only in Britain.
Our big announcements for next week were to make sure we filled the shoeboxes with gifts for Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse program, filling grocery bags with canned goods for the food pantry, and the Hanging of the Greens. No crockery was mentioned. Nor was there any announcement about this program.

"The Methodist Church" -- one church in one town, or the National HQ? What is the originating site from your article?
I see UK as the National source of "the media" article. Does that mean the request to smash applies to the UK , the USA or both?
How do we know that this is not a hoax story?
And how should the church work to decrease violence?
Why, with a symbolic "act of violence," of course...

This is just the left wing encouraging feelings of violence and hatred. It seems similar to Cultural Revolution "struggle sessions" or the Shi'ites working themselves into a frenzy over the martyrdom of Hassan and Hussein or the Al Qaedaites working themselves up into a frenzy of righteous indignation against the infidel so as to go off to violent holy war. I see nothing Christ-like in this bit of agitprop.
To: dighton
Another case of symbolism and emotional expression over substance in the childlike mind.

OK. Does this apply to the USA, or just Great Britain?
