I still plan to be a Christian and a Methodist after all this, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'll agree with their Book of Discipline 100%. I personally believe that ALL people are equal in God's eye, no matter what they may do or believe. So from the bottom of this Methodist's heart, if you think badly on Methodism after this week's Conference, on behalf of them, I apologize.


Unless you are part of the leadership or management team of the Methodist Church you have nothing to apologize for. If you find your Church has let you down, you and other members of your Church who feel that way should organize their own church.

Which reminds me of a story. Two Jews leave a sinking boat and swim to an island. The first thing they do is build three synagogues on the island. Two that each separately attends and a third that neither will set foot in.

Funny, that joke could just as easily apply to Lutherans. :lol:
