I drive an hour to go to a United Methodist Church, it is difficult to understand how the Global Church thinks it is right to think others who are different are less. However it took 200 years to take the hateful language out of the Methodist church, but maybe we are making progress. Now we are finally integrated, Hispanics can be ordained, woman can now be Bishops, my sister wanted to be a minister all her life, and she went to Southwestern in Georgetown but she could only be a director of adult education. When she could finally be ordained she had 3 boys and drove from Fort Worth to Perkins everyday.
Her husband had left her so she had to work two jobs while she attended Perkins.
Then. the only job she could get was as associate Pastor. Years later she could not get a medium size church because the congregation did not want a woman preacher. Come to think of it I have never attended a United Methodist church where they had a woman preacher as Senior Minister.
Good morning, sisters and brothers. I'm joining you from western Wyoming for the first time.

We have many DFW UM churches where women are senior pastors.
There still challenges having them appointed to large churches but they had also happened.
Enjoyed COTP may 20th. Have a wonderful time in the hill country!
Thank you!!
Religion and tfg, are two diametrically opposed entities.
