I don’t see how they are going to come up with a solution that will satisfy everyone. There are already entire conferences that say the rules regarding homosexual marriage or ordination are null and void. They may as well let it hit the fan now. It’s now or it’s later.

Sounds like the **** has already hit the fan.
WHAT a shame. All people have to do is follow God's plan. We have the Bible, Apostolic Tradition and the Papacy to interpret "newer" things like...abortion being a sin. How can ANY Christian justify abortion?

I grew up United Methodist, but left about 30 years ago and eventually found myself in the Orthodox Church. Things have been unraveling in the UMC for decades. There are people and clergy who have remained fathful to traditional Christianity, and there are others who could not abandon it fast enough. Unfortunately, the latter have dominated national leadership roles, seminary faculty, etc., for some time. I guess they figured the cultural climate was right this year to make a big push on the homosexual issue.
