Thank you for your thoughts and for the very informative article. I found that this pretty much nails it.
“This is the critical issue in the UMC. Should we welcome sinners and show them the path to Salvation? Yes. Obviously! Should we embrace them and make them feel welcome to continue living in sin? What did Jesus do? (John 8:1-11) He said, ‘Go, and sin no more.’
Thank you!
