My family going back generations was Methodist Episcopal. It was a beautiful liturgy and I can still recite parts of it. The UMC merger ruined a strongly conservative church.
“The UMC merger ruined a strongly conservative church.”
Precisely: a poor plan poorly executed. My family (the Swedish side) was ME for generations here in Texas and in the Old Country. My dad was confirmed ME and then went to another church because his church still conducted all services in old Swedish and had no youth program.
