Another One: Trinity UMC in Eugene CLOSED

from PlainSpoken Hosted by Jeffrey Rickman

The United Methodist Church continues closing churches against their will in what Chris Ritter has termed “connectional cannibalism.” Some churches closed lean right or center-right. Yet a couple of weeks ago, the Oregon-Idaho Annual Conference closed a Reconciling Ministries church AGAINST THEIR WILL. They saw it coming a mile away, named it, fought it, and the DS came to worship and announced they would be closed and can no longer worship there. In this segment, I read the news articles, show the footage, and read the account of the local church, which has put their story online. I do some analysis about the ideologies at play here and urge folks to pray for those who continue to be crushed by the UMC, and that the UMC leadership would repent. I would like to think it is all worthy. Supporters are hereby encouraged to go to plainspoken.locals.com to support my work and help me to build up the infrastructure needed to spread good and helpful information.
