161 B) Marriage—We affirm the sanctity of the marriage covenant that is expressed in love, mutual support, personal commitment, and shared fidelity between a man and a woman.

Get any local UMW to preach that at any sermon. It'll never happen. Never.

For one thing, they're afraid of the 501C3 prohibition of preaching "politics" from the pulpit.

My experience doesn’t agree with that statement.

Not a specific sermon focused on that topic, but on making decisions based upon desires that are contrary to biblical teachings.

Then again, I’ve attended UMC services where most of the congregation was part of the military. We sold a shotgun as part of a fund raising event. Probably not typical of many UMC churches but they do exist.
