Nine people want to be woke and 629 want to leave. And the main church will take this congregation's property for that.
...apparently so....
629 people can and should set up their own congregation. The main body is going to find that facility expensive without donations,
...several Methodist churches here are moving in that direction...
...I believe this is an effort by the UMC hierarchy to eliminate the smaller churches with "older" denominations out so they will not have to be subsidized by the mother church....
Sigh. I was in a congregation that was supported by the larger church for years, but we only had about 30 attending members. When there were 200 it had been quite self-sufficient. Six hundred would have been a dream. Perhaps their rolls are overstated. However, assuming their building(s) could hold that many, that is a lot of space to maintain, and specialized, the larger church could have quite a white elephant on their hands.
...woke economics....
They rent out their buildings to any denomination that pays them. Their base congregation is small.
...valid observation....
here is more info from a local news station
"On Thursday, Dec. 15, the church voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church denomination for a second time, with 635 people voting not to remain a part of UMC"
They think that all congregants will just go along with the herd to avoid public shame, ridicule, and humiliation.
...they are mistaken....
Methodist Church is masonic rest haven these days. AME ZION church is filled with homosexuals.
as is the Southern Baptist... totally Masonic controlled
people may ask why that matters... Masons believe they will become God, through intellect. All founding fathers were this way. They were deists, who removed any divinity from the Lord God. Thomas Jefferson tore up the Holy Bible & re-assembled it to his liking...
...sadly true...
Good post..
...doggy winks...
