I was recently asked to share my thoughts on this hot button topic of the Methodist church splitting largely over issues of sexuality and culture. I quit following church politics years ago, finding it to be exhausting and not the best use of my time or energy. However, since I was asked, and I am elementally a Wind/Fire personality type who has an opinion on almost any subject, I freely give you my thoughts on this issue.
This is my favourite part “ Freedom should be at the essence of religion”…
My freedom was paid for on the cross! We need a justice image that demonstrates the cross and what it truly means.
In my past life using the Lords name in vain brought on some form of nausea. We cannot present a turn or burn story but we can love and respect each other and let the Lord do what the Lords to do, we’re not Holy Spirit, we’re not God and why should we judge - that jobs taken. We’re all Gods people!! Colour, creed, alphabet people, short, tall, fire, earth, wind or water!
I’m so keen to hear the response to your writing to the article dear Laurie Beth. We stand together, sword and justice scales in arm.
