Most UMC congregations anywhere have probably been or trended liberal for a long time. The conservative congregations are likely a minority.
Sadly, so. It's only us old-timers who remember the beautiful traditional liturgy, scriptural hymns, and sober-living social conservatism of the Methodist Episcopal Church, that began its ruin when it merged with Evangelical United Brethren in 1968 and has never stopped rushing towards the bottom since then.
