Take a look at the news about the United Methodist Church in the last 10 or 12 years if you want a shock. Its hierarchy is totally corrupt.

The United Methodist Church, aka UMC went progressive about 2 decades ago.
My MIL was born a Methodist and left the church some 80 years later after years of devoted service to her church. Her parents, uncles and aunts and older cousins helped to build the church in a small midwest town in the late 1890’s.
About two decades ago the left wing Methodist bishops started sending left wing pastors, who ranted and raved about the evils of America and the needs of the poor. Then, they sent homosexual pastors to really insult the members.
If the members complained to the liberal Bishops, they were to told to shut up and work with the left wing pastors.
My MIL who was such a great woman, no SIL’s nor DIL’s ever said a bad word about her. Stopped going to her church because of the liberalism and failure of the pastors to reach out the elderly and families in need of spiritual support.
She told her family not to have her funeral service in the Methodist Church, and she picked a non Methodist minister for her funeral. She apparently started a trend, and the church closed a few years later due to lack of members and funds. It is now a library.
