I noted earlier that the UMC is not tightly organized. Various churches that I have attended all have different liturgical devices that are allowed within the UMC.

The one we use here is the Eucharist.

My father in law is a retired Methodist minister as well.

Yes, I married a preachers kid.

I have no objections to the rituals. I am very uncomfortable in most of the protestant churches except for the UMC. I have never sensed any anti-catholic mentality, but I do know that idolatry is not acceptable within the UMC family, as I stated. But I have never witnessed anyone publicly saying anything against a catholic. Not ever.

Well, maybe a joke or two.:-)

Oh, I'm an equal opportunity joker.

I used to know some good Episcopalian jokes, but I don't tell them any more . . . too many of them came true. :-(

" Yes, I married a preachers kid."

The Greeks have an old saying, "Child of the priest, grandchild of the devil!" :)
