This could be renamed, "Why I left the United Methodist Church and Became a Southern Baptist."

A word of Warning for any United Methodist sending their child to TCU… I grew up in a "conservative" United Methodist Church in Texas. So as a freshman at TCU I joined the Wesley Foundation on campus. WHAT A SURPRISE THAT WAS! The leadership brought gay and lesbian individuals in to "teach" us how our long held belief that homosexuality is sinful was not Biblical. I got out of that place fast! This was around the time the Southern Baptist were making waves at their conventions for taking stands on this very issue... I knew where I should transfer my membership! I've been very happy there ever since in the Southern Baptist Church.

You will be pleased to know that I am a United Methodist Pastor, ordained elder.

But....I agree with you.

Un freaking real.

I, who may well be the sorriest excuse for a Christian who ever lived, know what Romans 1 says. How do these "leadership" people manage to skip over that chapter?

That makes two of us.
