Living in the shadow of mortality
Knowing that we don’t have all the time in the world shouldn’t be a shock. What matters is how we spend the time we have.

Is Methodism dying?
On belonging to a dying Church and honouring the Living God
The embrace of a separate "modern worship" was a critical error on the part of the #UMC.
Separate #ContemporaryServices divided the church in two. The contemporary service brought in a younger, less #Methodist crowd ... and few churches provided any means of anchoring them in the traditions of #Methodism.
Result: fundamentalists, Methodist in name only, craving a return to fundamentalism. UMC should have fused traditional and contemporary trends together: evolution over division.
A shadowy group of people who've chosen not to reveal their identities successfully campaigned to take away the privilege I had of occasionally teaching an adult Sunday School class. (One of few that is growing and thriving at the church.)
They claim I've used the Sunday School class to "promote the gay lifestyle" because I occasionally refer to "my husband."
When straight people refer to spouses, it's nothing. When I do, it's "advancing the gay agenda."
Hi all, I’m sharing resources for my friends in the UMC that are wanting to make their churches more inclusive (read I’m giving them things so they can /actually/ become more inclusive, not just say they are magically inclusive now). I’ve list Reconciling Ministries, GLSEN, GLAAD, PLFAG, The Trevor Project. I really need more resources for Trans and nonbinary inclusion. If you have anything i’d love to share it. #lgbtqia #religion #methodism #equality #transgender #nonbinary #theliturgists
I should have given this the old #methodism to make sure this reaches all the John Wesley fans here on the fediverse
