As long as they take much of the perverted theology with them to their new destination, such as female ordination, they’ll be in the same position as before within a decade.

Now that’s my kind of church but I live too far 👍🏻

I read all of that and still do NOT know the Woodlands church’s position on homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Those guys are slick, aren’t they?

Global Methodist Church, a newly created conservative Methodist denomination

I talked with a good friend yesterday that is planning to leave them because of this. He was on the board and was very involved with their missions. He said others are going to be leaving too.

Two issues:

1. The Methodist denomiation as a whole elected NOT to accept homosexual marriage - and that was led by the conservative African churches. The majority of the American churches voted for gay marriage

So, as conservative churches are being driven out of the Conference, the denomination, as a whole, becomes more liberal, and so in a better situation to impose its will.

2. Some of these churches have pledged their property to the conference, so the liberals may try to claw back the valuable buildings and property, or force the congregations to buy it back. More money going to support liberal causes. This was what the Episcopalians did, (the Denis Canon). Churches that had been supported by families for generations, built with blood and sweat by the congregants, were kicked out of their own buildings.

I was basically told “You are not allowed to disagree” so I left. That’s cult behavior. Now I’m in a UMC conference that will probably leave the church as a unit after the vote.

My former church had a series on gay ordination with one “conservative” and two liberals and the liberals pitched a fit because the “conservative” was even allowed to speak. Cult behavior.

This is my church and I voted. The title misleads folks. It wasn’t about guys. Rather it is about being true to the Bible. Progressives dismiss the Bible. Just as they dismiss the Constitution. Progressives in the UMC also exclude all traditionalists. I’m so proud of The Woodlands Methodist Church. We expect VERY FEW to leave. We are moving forward in faith!

Organized religion is for the birds. I read the Bible at home by myself.

I thought there was supposed to a structured mass separation of the UMC anyway. What happened to those plans?

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Given that someone with “UMC” in her moniker participates regularly in Ukraine/Russia reporting, one wonders if her “UMC” is the United Methodist Church, and her “Rev” is “reverend.” If so, would this not be an ideal participant in this thread?

Because Christianity is a democracy? Glad they voted Christian at least.
