The Methodists have had many gay preachers, all across the country. They just kept it on the down low. But you must understand the bible has always preached of abomination, but folks today think THAT is dropping ordnance on a place like Afghanistan.
Let's hope the do the right thing.
Obviously they dnt believe in Hox just their mfg version for their needs.
Simply said, they are deciding weather to 'Follow the Scriptures or NOT Follow the Scriptures' This gathering will tell the nation if the United Methodist Church believes and follows the holy scriptures or that they have found a 'Candy Coating' they can agree upon!
I was raised in the Methodist Church; I am praying they will make the right decision...even though it will be years late! love welcome rightnow TimetoTalk Prayer
Why is there a ban on anyone who attends church?
vjack Far be it for an atheist to offer advice to a church, but those denominations that don't evolve to embrace and celebrate the dignity and love of LGBT people and their families will either diminish or begin a drift toward fundamentalism.
Progress 👏👏👏👏
Scripture is not to be voted on. That is why I left the Methodist church and became Catholic.
One day you'll catch up to the modern world
Lift the ban! Lift LGBT people’s spirits!
Welcoming all doesn’t include ceasing to declare right from wrong and that redemption is available through repentance.
This is exactly why the protestent churches struggle with people leaving. I left. Homosexuality should not be a crime, but should not be a celebrated event. This is not God's will. The bible is clear. God is clear.
Jesus died for ALL so this is LONG OVER DUE
Missing here: a number of Methodist Churches (all of Santa Barbara's) have already chosen to be completely welcoming. Called Reconciling Ministries. Change is difficult but waaaay overdue.
I see a lotta empty seats in that pic. Wonder if the photo is of a United Methodist church.
“Open Hearts Open Minds” is on the Methodist banner. Hope they don’t have to change it.
Are we to sit and debate on such issues,?.. Are we out of standards..?
Lift the ban
wonder why God decided all of a sudden to let gays get married.
