A South Carolina judge has announced that he intends to rule with 70 United Methodist churches in that state which want to leave the liberal denomination. He has asked attorneys for the 70 departing churches to draft an order dismissing the case brought against them by the denomination's South Carolina conference and a number of individual loyalist churches. In the lawsuit, the conference was attempting to take the departing congregations' church buildings away from them.
"Social gospel" liberalism has been rife in the United Methodist Church for decades, but came to a head in the denomination in 2024 over homosexuality. A new church body that abandoned much of the social gospel, known as the Global Methodist Church was established. Homosexuality is hardly the only area where the UMC has gone hard left, Another is illegal immigration, which is promoted by UMC through some of its denominational bodies.

Here in Beaufort County, First United Methodist Church of Washington decamped to the new Global Methodist Church during the split. Among the minority of the congregation backing the liberal branch of the church and who subsequently left the congregation were liberal School Board Member Carolyn Walker and her husband county commissioner Randy Walker.
Many other congregations in eastern North Carolina also decamped from the liberal church body at the same time.
Homosexuality has also come to a head as a divisive issue in the Anglican (Episcopal) church after a new and much more liberal Archbishop of Canterbury was chosen, whose pro-homosexual record was highly objectionable to the church's African and Asian members. The African group has gone as far as announcing it no longer recognized the Archbishop of Canterbury and the church bodies she appoints as leaders of the church, with the Asian group making noises in support of their African bretheren,

Hey Jethro-
The tag line is a Bob Dylan lyric from 60 years ago that points out its better to believe your own eyes than what the miliary industrial complex of corporations are trying to sell you. |

Your pagan Gaia worship CO2 religion keeps you from following the smart people who are leaving the sinking ship of climate doomerism. Even some really dumb ones like Greta Thunberg are even doing that. Your pagan religious fervor sustains you.
60 years ago? That is about the time that certain political actors in the UK deciding that reviving the discredited and almost forgotten CO2 global warming theory could help them in their stuggles with the coal miners unions and Arab oil sheiks, and dumped tons of British taxpayer money into grants to create new "science" on the subject. That theory dated from the 1890s and had never gotten any real acceptance in climate science. However, it was politically useful at that time to the British government. Later the UN discovered that it could be politically useful to them as well. The CO2 climate doom hysteria has been junk science since that Swedish dude first concocted it in the 1890s. Its like the facts I pointed out on the "climate refugee" nonsense. You can't be confused with facts because your mind is made up. |

I'm sure the world will remain a confusing and dangerous place for you.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. It was true 60 years ago and true today. |

Here is the link to that "Der Spiegel" article on the UN and "climate refugees" that never materialized. www.spiegel.de Only one link is allowed per comment.

So you are still stuck on stupid, Little Bobbie? Longtime funder of the climate doom cause Bill Gates publicly climbed down from the position earlier this year, saying the climate doom narrative was just wrong. The UN's IPCC in their latest projections has withdrawn the two highest ones on temperatures completely and said the third highest was just there for academic purposes and was not going to really happen. The remaining ones are not in the climate doom level. Even that nutty Greta Thunberg has turned her back on climate doom and now spends her time being a cheerleader for the Hamas terrorists instead. You are behind the times, Little Bobbie. Many of the people who promoted climate doom have been jumping ship.
Actually there was an article from the English edition of the German news magazine "Der Spiegel" that made fun of a UN report that projected 50 million "climate refugees" by a certain year. which had just passed. The article pointed out that instead of 50 million , there had been NONE, and that population had increased rather than decreased in all the places the UN claimed the "climate refugees" would come from. Also, the UN IPCC for years made two Pacific island nations (Kiribati and Tuvalu) "poster children" for being swallowed up by "sea level rise" due to "climate change". When scientists finally got around to studying what was actually happening there, they found that the islands in question were GROWING in size, not shrinking. Facts are funny things. They explode mere theories. www.telegraph.co.uk |

BH- I'll blow your mind. immigration, legal or otherwise, will only get worse. Why? Climate change. As the earth heats and weather patterns change people gonna move. Just a fact.
Remember, not one of you could go a week without your A/C 5 months out of the year. Most of the world doesnt have A/C. And these people will move. Its already happening. |

There are two many liberal elements of church denominations in the illegal immigration game, often soaking up taxpayer money to fund it. The United Methodists have been a big player in that, although not the biggest. That would probably be Catholic Charities. Hopefully, the Trump administration will get all this money cut off. Indeed, it would be nice to see some of these leftie hacks prosecuted for conspiracy to violate our immigration laws and for harboring illegal aliens.
