The leaders of the United Methodist Church went all queer and lesbian and now they wonder where the money went?
The United Methodist Church long ago became the Untied Methodist Church. They are now reaping the whirlwind.
The UMC richly deserves the extinction that is approaching it. It earned it through its embrace of apostasy and wokeness.
First United Fag Churches unable to recruit enough deviants to fill the coffers
Fixed it
“the smallest proposed denominational budget in 20 years.”
Twenty years? I guess if it were adjusted for inflation it would be even smaller.
The money went with the conservative Methodist who left!
Please let this be a defining moment in your church. From now on you're sticking to Jesus like glue, no matter what, no matter who. From now on you audit where your money is going, making sure it doesn't go to another leftist lobbying group like the GBCS or UMW. From now on you review what is being taught and make sure it's based on Scripture (see tagline). This could be very similar to John Wesley's separation from the Anglican church.
“The most recent cuts to the proposed denominational budget respond to higher-than-projected church disaffiliations in the U.S.”
Need I say it? Go woke; go broke.
As snowbirds (more precisely leafers) we belong to two congregations. One has disaffiliated. We’ve doubled our contribution to that congregation, for doing the right thing in our opinion. I hope the other congregation will disaffiliate. The leadership does not represent a majority of the congregation.
Our old church (Presbyterian) bought into the Critical Race Theory (CRT) crap back when Saint George Floyd and BLM was in the news. NUMEROUS sermons about it. That was the last straw for us. (With other things leading up to it such as homosexuals and trans on the regional level.)
We found a new church that is great. One of the things the pastor did was a long, two part video series about CRT and why it was not Biblical and the Communist history behind it.
And yes, we took our money with us.
I still get emails from the old church. A couple of weeks ago they were talking about the lack of funds, laying people off, etc.
Sad (huge church, does lots of real good stuff too). But “Go woke, go broke.”
Maybe they should try rethinking their position(s) on perverted sex.
That only shows how ignorant and naive they truly are.
Why do they need a Ministry if they don’t believe in anything?
“I don’t take any great joy in this,”
I do.
They believe in taking our guns away.
Another 50% of churches in the demoniation are frustrated and angry they have not been able to leave. Demonic influence in the UMC has over run the Council of bishops, the main source of all the trouble.
I don’t think their (the LGBTQs) goal was mainly financial. I think it was to destroy God’s churches.
All those perverts will have to get real jobs.
There are three hold outs that share the same pastor in our county. I think it’s about the loss they would take.
“It’s dead, Jim, dead.”
I’m in a rural Methodist church of about 125 members. No one wants to leave the traditional church after all these years, but 1/2 the congregation is fed up with the gay stuff enough to leave. The next annual conference will be the straw that breaks this church.
