What I am combating in my Methodist denomination, although I didn’t clearly write that. Francis reminds me of one of our double tongue bishops....which is about all of them.
My FRiend, it’s because the customers who pay the electric and gas bills, the minister’s salary, and the supernumeraries by apportionments assigned to each church. They will determine what doctrines the denomination settles on, not the bishops,as I figure. I have the 1896 and 1900 Books of Discipline, and will in a moment send you the paragraph on ordaining women. Hang on ...
