Methodists in the Northern Illinois Conference also called on the global church to impose no more than a 24-hour suspension for clergy who defy the policy.

This is the kind of thing that happened in the Episcopal Church. When bishops ordained women and then practicing homosexuals before the whole body gave the official okey-dokey, they were maybe rebuked but that was it.

So the world thought the bishops "courageous" for daring this dreadful consequence, while we in the bodies in question realized that church order meant nothing more than acquiescence to the spirit of the age.

And as we see in the Episcopal Church, failing to stand for anything in particular leads to falling for anything in general.

What we need is more shouting by folks and fighting. We need to take back our churches!
