hard to believe i’m still a United Methodist but i am. yes, church leaders still say and do some stupid things but i know not everyone in the UMC holds those beliefs. at times i do question my loyalty to a denomination that is anything but loyal to me. but, someone has to work for change, right? what can i say, i’m a social worker—we love challenges like this.

Petrel, that’s good news, to be sure. But I’d hold off on celebration until General Conference this summer. The cynic in me doubts they’ll let the ruling stand.
