Methodists rely on the ground game One of the legendary football coaches (Brown? Lombardi?) was not a fan of relying on the forward pass. He said there were only three possible outcomes and two were negative. He chose to rely on the traditional ground game. The United Methodist Church has been wrestling with the issues of sexuality for decades and are now concluding a special conference to choose a way forward. The conference is considering three alternative paths: open acceptance of alphabet lifestyles, local autonomy for choice, or retaining the traditional prohibitions on non-Biblical lifestyles. In a preliminary vote yesterday the conference voted to uphold the traditional stance. A final vote is to be held today. Still possible to fumble the ball, but it looks like tradition will win out. Please pray for the Spirit to be on ALL the members of the conference. https://um-insight.net/general-conference-2019/legislative-committee-passes-traditional-plan/
