When I was a child and visiting the local Methodist church in my town, I could see how it had shallow underpinnings in Scripture.
This continues to bot surprise me, sadly. I knew some good people who went there.
It’s more of a conference thing. I’m in the Holston Conference and it is pretty conservative. Our preacher is a charismatic who became a UMC pastor. Very Bible-based and nothing but old hymns (except for Gaither of course). He’s retiring and we are getting a guy fresh out of cemetery, er seminary. One of my UMC pastor friends said we will have to “unlearn” him some things.
