Default Methodists and LGBT Membership

Hi folks,

Here is the link to my blog where I am commenting on the current dispute over LGBT membership in the United Methodist Church.

http://www.morevile.blogspot.com

The interesting issue is how one "evangelical" United Methodist pastor is dealing (or not dealing) with a real life family with "two mommies."

About me: You should know that I am one of the Soulforce co-chairs for the United Methodist General Conference action that took place at the 2004 General Conference.

Me too. I've had quite a browse of your blog, Steven. It is an interesting window to me on a struggle for acceptance within the UMC. Thanks for pointing me to it.

I added your blog to my "favorites" as well. I've enjoyed reading what I've been able to so far -- very informative and a welcome relief to what I hear coming from some United Methodists. I can't agree with the idea of "anticipatory membership" either -- seems to defeat the purpose of being a member at all, while continuing painful division within the church.

I look forward to reading more.

Susan
