maybe they figured out that as the fag flags went up, membership went down.

The common denominator in all these fake churches is the National Council of Churches. They must be destroyed as they were formed to promote communism. Read the history.

[Wm F Buckley Republican]

Thank you.

[originalbuckeye]

Absolutely. Imagine my surprise when I read in the early 2000’s, that the United Methodist Church was sending money to CASTRO. Not the Cuban people, to CASTRO!

[ReaganGeneration2]

47%?

[Albion Wilde]

Amazing and wonderful!

Reverend Jerry Kulah's remarks were so powerful and inspiring:

African United Methodists Won’t Trade Bible for Dollars

[Texan]

Which means that faithful Methodists must not stop now

Amen!

Totally agree with everything you said.

[Wm F Buckley Republican]

I’m old enough to remember the Cuban revolution and the role of the National Council of Churches in bringing Castro to power. The Methodist church was involved in returning Elian Gonzales to Cuba. They’re a bunch of commie-lovers at the top and if the UMC is to be saved, they must divorce the NCC.

[prairiebreeze]

Bump!

[itsahoot]

The Methodist church was involved in returning Elian Gonzales to Cuba.

I remember when a picture of Angela Davis dancing down the isle of a Methodist church on the arm of the pastor, made front page news.

[YouGoTexasGirl]

Yep, and I think just voted themselves raises!!!

I say, let’s have bishops as they do in Africa-—1 for 400,000 members vs. 100,000 members!!!

[SisterK]

53% to 47%

Such a narrow margin is a disaster.

Soldiers of Christ, Arise!

It’s still sickening the vote was that close. They need to kick out the anti-Christian/Sodomite-worship wing and they do NOT get to keep the property of the church.

[sam_whiskey]

It’s tempting to be vindictive because you know they would not give traditionalists the same consideration if the roles were reversed, but I think it’s still the right thing to do, because who knows what the future will bring?

[fieldmarshaldj]

I don’t consider it vindictive. They are willfully and deliberately perverting the word of God into a worship of something expressly unholy and a distortion of the relationship between men and women. It is sin worship and it is Satanic. Those that follow the words of those misleading their flocks that this is morally acceptable are having their souls flagrantly endangered.

That the church would willingly allow those in complete and utter disobedience to doctrine and to God himself to walk off with their properties acquired in their good name is simply absurd. I would call it theft by fraud.

If they wish their own anti-Christian cult that worships sodomy, let them establish it with their own means.

[Jane Long]

Hallelujah!!

Potentially some liberal churches consequently would leave United Methodism.

Most liberals opposed these plans for “gracious exit.” But pro-LGBTQ retired clergy Mike Slaughter of West Ohio spoke in favor of one petition, saying he did not wish to remain in a church that was not entirely affirming for all.

Thank you for leaving Mike Slaughter. now you can take your congregations money and building with you. Enjoy it while it lasts....

[Cronos]

Many liberal church activists and institutionalists remain surprised by the global support for the Traditional Plan, having assumed the liberalizing One Church Plan backed by most bishops would prevail. Efforts by USA church officials to cajole overseas delegates into supporting the One Church Plan have so far failed.

God bless the Africans! Africa is coming to America's rescue
