The UM church is getting more and more liberal. Before hubby and I left the UMC, there was a ‘confessing’ movement to try to bring the church back to biblical beliefs. Doesn’t seem to have gained much ground.
The "Confessing Movement" is still active, and has had a positive impact on the denomination in many respects - just not in this "progressive" annual conference.
