Methodists debating their future
Re: conservatives and traditionallists vs. liberals

So the Methodists voted to adopt the "traditional" platform, which is somewhat punitive against gay clergy and gay marriage.
Seems like there was going to be a schism either way. If it had not passed, the conservatives would schism. And because it passed, the liberals will schism. While I am not a Methodist. Nor do I particularly have a stake in what happens to them. It seems to be to be a sad thing, the ending of mainline protestantism. The liberal denominations (the ones accept gay marriage and gay clergy) are dying. |
