Conservative congregations left and they’re feeling a fresh air.

What could go wrong.

UMC is in freefall. There's a reason Jesus didn't select any women as his apostles.

“Battlestations!!”

>> Conservative congregations left and they’re feeling a fresh air.

Those winds of UMC change smell like a fart!

They can’t get to whoredom with satan fast enough. May they be increasingly few and increasingly poor, and may they entice few to join them in their iniquity.

“..UMC is in freefall....”

Yep....right down into the devil’s bottomless pit with a demonic black female making sure it all happens as planned.

I wonder if UMCRevMom was ever in the running?

[rexthecat]

Let’s be real. How many church-going Methodists are still around? it’s a dying church. In fact, it’s almost dead.

My parents dragged me to this church decades ago. They were just as liberal. Only it wasn’t as “cool” as it is now. I think the minister there performed the first gay marriage of all of them.

If this is an identity hire, the United Methodist Church is taking a big gamble. I hope is misses their foot.

“There was a different spirit in the place,”

Yep, that’s for sure. They are following a different spirit.

Lord help us...another “first”!

" The church also urges congregations to advocate for laws that prevent or reduce gun violence, such as:

• Universal background checks on all gun purchases
• Ensuring all guns are sold through licensed gun retailers
• Prohibiting gun purchases for those under restraining order due to threat of violence and those with serious mental illness who pose a danger to themselves and their communities
• Ensuring greater access to services for those with mental illness
• Establishing a minimum age of 21 years for a gun purchase or possession
• Banning large capacity ammunition magazines and weapons
• Promoting new technologies to aid law-enforcement agencies to trace crime guns and promote public safety.."

The faux Wesleyan Quadrilateral was the downfall of the UMC.
Wesley NEVER proposed or endorsed the idea. He never used the term Quadrilateral. It came out of Duke Divinity school in the 1960’s under that fake name and gave Methodists’ and excuse to ignore biblical teachings.

[ViLaLuz]

The great falling away continues.

One CAN get spiritually noseblind to the smell of Brimstone/sulfur after a while!

>> Wesley NEVER proposed or endorsed the idea.

Nope, he sure didn’t. ANd Albert Outler, the guy who DID propose it, later lamented publicly that his concept was grossly misused.

The whole “homosexual” gambit within the Protestant denominations was never about DEI, but rather about the destruction of those entities. If the supporters of that agenda were truly and honestly driven to embrace what they espoused they would have formed their own churches and denominations. This has always been about access to the money and the destruction of Christian denominations. As usual, they have been very successful at destruction, but dismal failures of anything constructive.
