I pray that we vote to “continue studying” the issue for another four years.

If your Church sect is studying this issue in any way, you've already lost.

UMC General Conference is every 4 years. They’ve voted to study the issue 5 times. I fear that there will not be a sixth vote to “study”. If they vote to allow gays in the clergy, then you’re right—we have lost and they will lose me.
