What a very peculiar missive from this disgruntled person. Suppressed anger comes out in weird ways sometimes.

[Albion Wilde]

This is a typical word salad I had come to expect from Methodist clergy before I departed lo these many years ago: not one mention of scripture, holiness, sin, redemption, repentance, salvation. Just a big political screed.

Then again, this guy is one of the UMC elites just decisively smacked down by the ordinary folks in the pews upon whom he sneers. And hallelujah for that.

In this Special General Conference we have now declared ourselves to be the church of the aged. The average UM is white and 61 years old. Just like me, my church has got too much past and too little future.

Affirming homosexuality is not a good strategy for producing the next generation of little Methodists.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

There are a lot of gray areas in Scripture. That homosexual acts are sinful is not one of them. Don’t see how supposedly learned and/or Godly people can be confused about this.

The author does not get it. Methodists lost members because of the leftward course taken by the denomination.

As with the libs in ECUSA, denial of workings of the Holy Spirit unless the libs win. I think the Methodist faithful learned lessons from the Episcopalians and Presbyterians and know how to fight this mess.

It’s too bad the churches who would leave won’t get to keep their property. That may hold them in the denomination to continue the fight.
