It is so true. I was a Methodist raised. I took my family out because they went liberal politics real bad. In my town looking at the average congregational age— in 15 years they will down to nothing.
I agree wholeheartedly with your 24 & 25.
That said, the UMC policy on abortion allows these so-called ministers to make these outrageous statements in support of abortion with impunity.
Our official policy on homosexuality would cause them some blowback (but not much), because we officially oppose homosexuality.
I will point out that I pastor a small, rural Methodist church and that they are far removed from the national body. There is still some light in this denomination, so I suppose that’s why the Lord let’s it continue to survive for a bit longer.
