It's a clear example of an asset grab. Infiltration, scare away the congregation, steal all the property titles. Miniscule minority leveraged themselves into power. Truly shameless.
As a former United Methodist, I can say that a majority of Methodist do not agree with those values and left that affiliation. Most of the churches left in UM are In larger cities that lean liberal.
Yes, I was too. In a big city, but with a conservative congregation. The conservative pastor, a good representative to and for the local church, recently retired after being investigated by the administrative hierarchy for abusing the pulpit. Utter hogwash. Another pastor was told to retire or move to Guam as his next assignment; he retired too. Even in Los Angeles, where there is some actual support for the LGBTetc agenda, the majority of congregations are nowhere near as sympathetic to the agenda as they are painted out to be. Instead they are ignorant as both their buildings and the legitimacy of their creed are stolen and perverted right from under their noses.
Such a sad situation, as long as we stay true to what Jesus and the Bible teach us, we will be victorious in God’s work in our lives.
The Methodist Church began shifting away from Christ and the Bible 30 years ago which is when I left it after generations in the church including my grandfather who was a Methodist Pastor. But let’s not pick on just the UMC. Most mainline churches have all gone liberal and woke and are little more that social service agencies.
Amen.
Which is fairly concerning...and probably a large scale strategy.
When aged historical places of worship are stolen out from under the people of those religions (Christianity and Catholicism for the most common traditional religions in the West) and it is made difficult from a legal and financial perspective to create new ones, then that's a pretty bad thing.
Even the annual conference tactics were taken straight from "rules for radicals." I wasn't involved in church hierarchy or administration, but I did have the opportunity to view it from a distance. It's quite brazen and shameless.
It's absolutely a strategy. Not only was there anonymity about who supposedly reported the pastor to set up his audits (probably some roamers from the Hollywood area), but our church had a vote to decide about seceding from the church, and many new people from outside the area signed up as members beforehand. It doesn't take many to tip the balance.
Effective since the Book of Esther
