Seems like pro-pride churches refuse to teach it. Not happy to see UMC churches go that direction. Lost a couple friends who left a Presbyterian church (where they were married) in favor of a UMC church where they found “inclusivity.”

Their decision back then: “It is OK to be gay.” But I never learned, if they were just trying to hold the church doors open, or they had some notion that Jesus would say the same.

I do not find “depth,” and “breadth,” and “greater understanding of love” by sanctioning homosexual behavior and pop-cultural sexual depravation. But that broad license appears to be found in somce churches, and specifically some UMC churches.

I do find, that our worthy, genuine, American Culture has been bashed by leftists for long enough to be missing from a the awareness -ability of many young people.

Young people whose parents are also missing in action.

On the other hand, I know a young lady now 18 years of age, who is a remarkable achievement.

Her father was born into crime and wandered a metropolitan area for the first 19 years of his life, living off the proceeds from crimes. He was caught and sent to jail at age 19.

This not-yet-a-father met a visiting angel of a girl from a regional church. Like a movie that many of us would like to see, that young man and that young woman ended up getting married after he left jail behind.

He became a determined, self-made building contractor. They had kids, one of whom, is this young lady I knew for a while - a girl who was squared away, smart, careful, attentive, productive and working at age 16, at a restaurant where I sometimes visited.
