Methodists vote to keep stand against same-sex relationships

Methodists vote to keep stand against same-sex relationships


After an emotional debate, Methodists at a national legislative meeting Thursday upheld the denomination's policy that same-sex relationships are "incompatible with Christian teaching."

Delegates at the General Conference voted by about 60% to 40% against softening the language on homosexuality in their Book of Discipline, which contains church laws and doctrine. The meeting is held once every four years, which means the policy won't come up for a conference vote again until 2016.


TONY DIGIROLAMO- THE METHODISTS ARE GROWING AROUND THE WORLD BUT NOT IN AMERICA.
"... the number of Methodists is shrinking inside the U.S., while expanding in African and Asian countries where the church is theologically conservative."
And the mainline denominations all are shrinking in membership and dying on the vine.
Can anyone see what's wrong with this picture!
