The Methodists were unable to change this at their General Conference a bit back, so they prevented a vote, now they are moving forward at the US level, ignoring their more conservative world church.

Wonderful how they keep mining the Bible for new perspectives like this . . . reminds me of how our federal judges are always discovering new rights in the Constitution.

The ministry is far more liberal than the rank and file. Here in Southern California I seriously doubt that a minister would be given anything other than a totally failing church if they were not fully behind this action and outspoken supporters of gay marriage. The certainly would never make District Superintendent let alone Bishop. Of course the Methodist Church is dying in Southern California.

In other news the Methodists have decided to thumb their collective noses at God.

This is why my wife and I left First Presbyterian Church (USA). While we had a good local congregation and Pastor, the National Presbytery were a bunch of Libs masquerading as evolved Christians.

Sadly, we also recently left our second church. They have embraced the “Seeker Friendly” Growth movement espoused by Rick Warren and other mega church leaders. The goal of these churches is not to offend anyone. The result is a Sunday Morning Coffee Shop with watered down, self-help messages. Sickening!

All this hoopla over a few queers?

Seems misplaced.

Methodists apparently are questioning their sexuality.

I wonder why alcoholics could not take over the equivalent of mosques to change Islam’s teachings about alcohol.

What is it with liberals/progressives? They don’t leave an organization whose beliefs they don’t agree with. They break it.
