"we should do away with the story of redemption because who wants to look at a bloody cross"!

It's a shame these people don't have the guts to just leave the Church...go join some new-age Earth-mother religion if you don't like Christianity.

I've never understood that, either. Of course a lot of the conservatives have left (including myself, for quite a few years). It was (A) finding a fairly conservative congregation and (B) finding out that there are conservatives within the United Methodist Church putting up a fight that has led me to give it a second chance. I'll have to see how it works out.

If only someone would tell that to the new Archbishop of Canterbury. Or is that the Chief Druid of Canterbury?
