The Chronicles of The Best They Ever Had

Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. -Acts 2:43-47

So this is pretty alarming to me. I know somebody, i think it was Jordan C, told me that there is often a big difference in the views of Methodist churches from North to South (as in the churches up North are a lot more "liberal"). Are the views respresented in this article held across the North? Or is this an isolated view? Would there even be a possibility of a split in the Methodist church? That seems to be a pretty serious thing that all of the Methodists I know around here would have a big problem with. I ask these questions because there seems to be a pretty big difference between what a lot of Methodists believe and what is going on with this situation.

My room mate is also methodist and he said that during a panel discussion about homosexuallity, the leader of the methodist group here said that homosexuallity is not a sin and he/she supports it.

I have written a letter and I am sending it to a few leaders in the UM church. Please pray over these letters--they are concerning the church's actions in the Stroud case and in the issue of homosexuality in general.
