[Alex Murphy]

Here is the author's list of grievances against the UMC:

- use of sexist language
- endless rehearsal of ancient doctrines
- the dated hymns
- the exclusivity of traditional Christianity
- denial of ordination to self-avowed practicing homosexuals
- no outcry against a preemptive, illegal war

Frankly, I don't see what she's complaining about - I would think the UMC and her would be a perfect fit.

I was thinking that, myself ... although I suppose in a small, rural, Southern, United Methodist church, you'd be somewhat likely to find traditional hymns, an occasional reference to the Trinity and the Crucifixion, and a straight, married pastor.
