I am one of those.

For several years about a decade ago, I prayed that God would lead me out of the UMC, to ANYWHERE else with sound biblical theology. God must have a sense of humor, because I ended up as the President of the United Methodist Women's group (one of only a few positions in which the person must be a member of the church).

To make a long story short, I remain a United Methodist because I KNOW that is where the Lord wants me. It is hard at times, but there are many of us who stay because we believe the Lord wants us here. If/when He directs me elsewhere, I will go. Until then, I am doing what I can from within.

I agree with you completely. I attend a wonderful Methodist Church every Sunday where the Bible is read and preached. The amens coming from the congregation will drown out the preacher and he has to et going again. It is up to every congregation to shape the direction of their church and to stand firm in their beliefs. Thank you for your hard work I am membership-care chairman, so the work of visiting the sickin hospitals, and preparing food for the greiving, and showers for the newborn give me the opportunity to serve my risen Lord in a wonderful Methodist Church.
