>>No Bishop, no clergy can speak as an authority for the United Methodist Church. The only authority of the United Methodist Church for any issue is the Quadrennial General Conference.
Most rank-and-file Methodists know almost nothing about GC or even AC. They don’t deal with the Bishop either. For them, the DS and their own pastor speak with authority and they accept their words as the policy of the greater UMC.
And since the UMC does not accept the inerrancy of scripture, the authority of those men (and women) carry more weight than they should.
I am sick and tired of ignorant comments stated against the U.M.C. This LifeNews publication I used to reference for up to date info. But, what integrity do they have with continuous pointed slander without fact-checking?
I’m sorry, the author of this article DELIBERATELY went to only pro-choice individuals
