Doesn’t this local church have to pay a great deal of money to the United Methodist body of MS?

The Muzzies have no closer ally than liberal Christian churches.

What took them so long?
..............................................
7. For United Methodist congregations to display signs that prohibit carrying guns onto church property.

8. For United Methodist congregations to advocate at the local and national level for laws that prevent or reduce gun violence. Some of those measures include:

• Universal background checks on all gun purchases

• Ratification of the Arms Trade Treaty

• Ensuring all guns are sold through licensed gun retailers

• Prohibiting all individuals convicted of violent crimes from purchasing a gun for a fixed time period

• Prohibiting all individuals under restraining order due to threat of violence from purchasing a gun

• Prohibiting persons with serious mental illness, who pose a danger to themselves and their communities, from purchasing a gun

• Ensuring greater access to services for those suffering from mental illness

• Establishing a minimum age of 21 years for a gun purchase or possession

• Banning large-capacity ammunition magazines and weapons designed to fire multiple rounds each time the trigger is pulled

• Promoting new technologies to aid law-enforcement agencies to trace crime guns and promote public safety.

The signals to leave the old mainline (really, now quite fringey, leftist, aging, anti-Bible and dying off) denominations began nearly a century ago.

Do some local Methodist churches just now notice that their denomination has supported abortion for years; maybe they’ve just now become aware that their denomination also supports “gay unions” (called by some people “gay marriages) as well as their denomination ordaining openly homosexual clergy?

Just asking........

The lefties are able to wrangle themselves into the top tiers of any organization and destroy it from within.
