The UMC is also the only mainline Protestant denomination to officially stand against gay ordination and homosexual practice (without cursing/damning the person). The vote was so profound at the 2012 General Conference in Tampa, FL that abortion/RCRC issues weren't even allowed to be debated on the plenary floor - AND, since the 2012 GC, the leaders of the "Reconciling Ministries Network" and "Methodist Federation for Social Action" resigned from those positions and are now investigating the possibility of forming a new, "inclusive" denomination.

Just fyi....

Hi, Prov, I remember meeting you at Mologne House, Walter Reed; and remember you as a pro-life Christian.

I read your post with interest, having been so offended by my last ten pastors before I actually left the UMC either being gay and lying about it, or being very pro-gay and promoting the involvement of obviously gay leaders with the children's ministries. This is in the northeast, Philadelphia and Baltimore conferences. I have not experienced this degree of heresy in the UMC when I visit family in other regions. I am so glad to hear what you wrote.

Just crossing "t's" and dotting "i's" ...

United Methodist Church (UMC)
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) (PCUSA)
Episcopal Church (TEC)
American Baptist Churches
United Church of Christ (UCC)
Disciples of Christ(DoC/The Christian Church)
Reformed Church in America

Just to be complete, the Presbyterians and Lutherans have other, more othodox, denominations which strongly disagree with the homoheresy. And yes, it does appear that the UMC is destined for schism.
