Disgusting, yet from a strictly legal standpoint (the United Methodist Book of Discipline is like a code of Canon Law) the absence of a prohibition could lead to no other ruling.
In any legal realm there is great difficulty when an action is neither explicitly permitted nor expressly condemned.
If only the Methodists would get rid of celibacy in the clergy, they wouldn’t have these types of problems.
He/She/It had to have been the ugliest woman who ever lived.
Frequently, transgendered men (turned into women) absolutely look like abominations. It is so funny to hear then say that they believe nature always intended them to be women, with their square jaws, adam’s apple’s, huge heads and hands, etc.
I get the feeling though, that the Rev. must actually have looked like a he/she BEFORE the operation.
To all the Methodists out there, please remember John Wesley (more often than Charles but both are sung) is a very popular hymn writing for Catholic Masses....
One has to wonder why anyone would want to be part of this congregation.
Shame on the UM Council for allowing this “minister” to preach in the first place! Only godly men are supposed to be preachers.
It’s no wonder the UMC is losing members. It’s because the left-leaning leadership allows this junk to come in.
