As reports come out this week from a meeting of the UMC General Committee on General Conference which is rumored to be being planned for later summer, it reminds me of three years ago ….. when some were optimistic enough to believe the stalemate in the divide between forces in Methodism would eventually end. We thought it would be a rough three days of General Conference. It’s been a rough three years and no one knows when or how it will end.

“Well, the reports of threats from liberals to disrupt and shut down the UMC General Conference rather than allow a vote on the Traditional Plan tells us a lot about how the next three days are going to go. As one person said. ‘“ Lock them up and take the vote.” African delegates stated unequivocally that they stand with the Traditionalists and will not trade the Bible for America’s culturally liberal church elites’ money.”
