None of these by church law take affect until the following Jan 1. 2020. The next GC is in May 2020. The campaign to elect delegates for May 2020 is already ongoing. That vote begins in a brief 4 months in annual conferences around the world. Africa grew so it gains 18 more delegates.
So, the plan will be to undercut the election of conservatives in the US to counter the African vote.
The enemy knows how to manipulate the rules in their favor.

John Wesley was part of the Pentecostal Holiness movement, with much emphasis on righteous living (holiness). And yes, part of what Wesley had to deal with in his day was teaching holiness in a world of sexual debauchery (even in his day).I suspect not many know that John Wesley visited and ministered to the early Georgia Colony at Savannah for two years. That is part of the reason the Methodist movement later took hold here so fervently.

Agreed. I live in Alabama so I knew Wesley visited colonial southeast U.S. back in the day, though I couldn’t have told you it was Georgia.
