Methodist leadership seems to leave few stones unturned in discovering ways to twist Christianity into something more “hip”. This ought to full up those empty pews.
Not.
Well said. It is remarkable that the UMC continues to exist as a substantial institution. Membership decreases every year. Research indicates that the cause is anti-Biblicism in its seminaries. Yet the leadership says, “This cannot be. We must redouble our efforts to secularize our once great movement.”
There is no courage among its clergy who are cowed by the rigid authoritarianism of the Council of Bishops. It’s missionary zeal is blighted by avowed Marxists at the Board of Global Missions on Riverside Drive. Its theology most closely resembles the Unitarians of the 60’s.
The church of my father has spurned me and taken up with the whore of Babylon.
I am a Methodist and this bothers me, but I don’t see evidence of this in my church.
What is really disturbing is that some of my offerings are probably going to support this crap.
