My grandparents were Methodists, my parents were Methodists, my wife's family were Methodists. We are recovering Methodists. My family, and I left the Methodist Church over 20 years ago.

The Methodist Church has been organizing, and promoting the Marxist World Council of Churches, and National Council of Churches for over 100 years. The United Methodist Church has passed GUN CONTROL resolutions, has been marrying, and ordaining homosexuals, and lesbians.

Women preaching from pulpits, or serving as Bishops, is in direct violation of God's Word.

I Corinthians 14:34 & 35

I Timothy 2:12

My great grandfather was a circuit rider in N. Florida and S. Georgia.

The day I walked out of the Methodist Church the minister was raising funds to ban handguns and to fund a field hospital for the Viet Cong.

When I think back over Sunday school lessons I can recall it is obvious that the Marxists were influencing the church back in the 50s.

My wife was raised Methodist, in a small town with a conservative perspective. She was put off of the church we found near us when they switched to a female minister, who, worse yet, started going off on liberal political tangents during the service. Back around then I checked out the national website, got as far and the gun control position and never went back.

For what it's worth, in the church of Christ, women don't teach in any adult classes or in the worship service.

Here's an article about that from a coC perspective. Since each congregation is autonomous, what you read there may not apply to every single church of Christ assembly but it is what I've found everywhere.

I'll also hasten to add that I visited a Cumberland Presbyterian congregation not too long ago and found it politically Conservative. I think that most churches arising from the Stone-Campbell movement will gravitate toward Conservatism. YMMV.
