Tale #39 – Schism

In February of 2019, the United Methodist Church called for a special general conference. Among the things they talked about was the place of LGBTQ individuals within clergy and the life of the church. A lot of people had a lot of opinions, and after days of discussion, the vote was cast. I think we need to talk about it. Not the decision, not whether or not the call was appropriate or accurate to biblical revelation. We need to talk about the reactions folks had to it – and how we need to take quick to listen and slow to speak to heart.
